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
death For 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.
