Description
Few religious leaders have examined the potential for the positive impact of digital media and digital immortality creation in religious contexts.
It is evident that there have been recent moves away from traditional funeral services focusing on the transition of the deceased into the future world beyond, towards a rise of memorial content within funerals and commemorative events.
This has heralded shifts in afterlife beliefs by replacing them, to all intents and purposes, by attitudes to this life. Digital Afterlife and the Spiritual Realm explores the ways in which digital media and digital afterlife creation affects social and religious understandings of death and the afterlife. Features Understands the impact of digital media on those living and those working with the bereaved Explores the impact of digital memorialisation post death Examines the ways in which digital media may be changing conceptions and theologies of deathFor many people, digital afterlife and the spiritual realm largely remains an area that is both inchoate and confusing.
This book will begin to unravel some of this bafflement.
