Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The emergence of spirituality in contemporary culture in holistic forms suggests that organised religions have failed. This thesis is explored and disputed in this book in ways that mark important critical divisions. This is the first collection of essays to assess the significance of spirituality in the sociology of religion. The authors explore the relationship of spirituality to the visual, individualism, gender, identity politics, education and cultural capital. The relationship between secularisation and spirituality is examined and consideration is given to the significance of Simmel in relation to a sociology of spirituality. Problems of defining spirituality are debated with reference to its expression in the UK, the USA, France and Holland. This timely, original and well structured volume provides undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers with a scholarly appraisal of a phenomenon that can only increase in sociological significance.

Contemporary Issues in the Sociology of Death, Dying and Disposal

By: Peter C. Jupp

This book utilises a dynamic analysis of mortality to acknowledge shifts of emphasis in cultural and religious traditions. A central concern is the diversity of representations of death to be found within the varying cultural, religious, medical and legal systems of contemporary western societies. Since the construction of death mores has social implications, a major element of the book is an examination of the way in which groups and individuals employ specific representations of mortality in order to generate meaning and purpose for life and death.

Revolutions in Sorrow

The American Experience of Death in Global Perspective

By: Peter N. Stearns

Huge changes have occurred in both the physical facts of death and in the cultural modes that guide our reactions to it. These changes also affect policy issues ranging from punishments for crimes to birth control to the conduct of war. This book explores the impacts of these changes upon both personal experience and social policy and places developments in the United States in an international comparative context.The book opens with an overview of traditional patterns of death and related cultural practices in agricultural civilizations, along with changes brought by Christianity. Attitudes and practices in colonial America are traced and compared to other societies. After setting this historical context, the book examines the immense changes that occurred in the nineteenth century: new cultural reactions to death, expressed in changing death rituals and cemetery design; the unprecedented reduction later in the century of infant mortality; the relocation of death from home to hospital; the redefinition of death as a taboo subject. The book's final segment relates changes in death culture and experience to the contentious debates of the twentieth century over the death penalty, abortion, and the practice of war. The book is designed to use historical and comparative perspectives to stimulate debate about the strengths and weaknesses of cultural practices and policies related to death.

Meeting Jesus Together

Introducing Salugenic Community

By: Peter R. Holmes,Susan B. Williams

Why do we feel so alone and lost? More and more people are feeling isolated, missed, and unknown, and yet the church seems to be one of the main culprits in creating this ethos. We need to be about creating healthy, honest, and authentic communities that are safe places for people to know and be known. In Meeting Christ Together, Peter Holmes and Susan Williams explain exactly what that looks like and how we can create ‘salugenic’ or healthy relationships within the context of authentic community. They explain how a salugenic community is the network built by a group of people who are consistently experiencing life together, and it is a community that is committed to encouraging ongoing transformational change. Salugenic community is built on three assumptions: • If Christ is present in our relationships with each other, that should make a radical difference. • Such relationships provoke transformative change. • And, when these relationships are achieved, everyone notices the difference.

From Dust to Ashes

The Development of Cremation in England, 1820-1997

By: Peter C. Jupp

Seventy per cent of British families now choose cremation for their funerals, a rapid change in traditional death customs. This is the first book to investigate why cremation replaced burial. It examines the political, religious, economic and social reasons behind personal choice and sets them in a European context. This study is doubly timely with the expanding scholarly interest in death studies, and the new media interest in the British way of death.
