“Cutter offers a good, culturally and philosophically balanced
first point of entry to exploring various philosophical and
religious perspectives on death.” —Catholic Library World
“This book provides a fine introductory review of global
understandings about death. Cutter includes primary source excerpts
dating from 8000 BCE to 2016, including Eastern and Western sacred
writings and philosophical thought.” —Choice
"Death: A Reader offers culturally, conceptually, and temporally
diverse readings that provide rich and profound ways to consider
the inevitable." —Lisa Rasmussen, University of North Carolina,
Charlotte
"This book is a stunningly comprehensive collection of readings,
insightful analyses, and thoughtful questions and exercises on a
broad range of topics related to death. It will be a tremendous
resource for anyone who writes, teaches, or cares about death."
—Ana Iltis, Wake Forest University
"Death affects everyone, but it can be difficult to have a
conversation about it. Death: A Reader is a way to begin that
conversation, even if just with yourself. The book's goal is to
compile different ideas about death, and allow the reader to draw
their own conclusions." —Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine
