Rezension zu „The Meanings of Death “
'John Bowker's magnificent new book struggles with the greatest question there is ... it is scholarship tinged with fire; it is theology and testimony.' Church Times 'Bowker's reasoned voice is essential to the present debate over death, whether or not one agrees with him that the religions that have nurtured life and eased the way toward death for centuries can now be reconciled with the sciences, and that religion and science can reinforce each other in a human attitude to death.' Chicago Tribune 'This is a very thought-provoking book which covers a vast range of data. It will become a set text for students on the Lampeter MA on Death and Immortality, for it is a mine of information and insight.' Paul Badham, University of Wales, Lampeter
