This new edition of Julia Neuberger’s little classic provides a wealth of information about the beliefs, customs and practices of the world’s major religions, with particular regard to
how these influence end-of-life care and what happens after the death. There are also chapters on Chinese, Japanese and Afro-Caribbean beliefs and customs. This edition has a new chapter on Humanism.
Excellent. Highly recommended.
