Abstract

This introductory chapter previews the content and conclusions of The Comparison Project’s 2015–2017 programming cycle on death and dying. First, it explicates each of the 12 content essays on death and dying, especially with respect to the focus of the series—how traditional theologies of death and rituals of dying are affected by and respond to the medicalization of death. Then, it highlights the four, brief comparative conclusions to the series.
