Sinopsis

Why does one die? How should one die? What happens after death? How do resurrection and reincarnation fit within various religious traditions? These are the four fundamental questions posed in Death and the Afterlife. The answers, from acknowledged authorities, give insights into the beliefs and traditions of these faiths and will help readers understand the similarities and differences among them. In this volume, Charles Hallisey presents the viewpoint of Buddhism, Jacob Neusner offers the perspective of Judaism, Jonathan Brockopp writes from the standpoint of Islam, Bruce Chilton discusses Christianity, and Brian K. Smith writes on Hinduism.
