Book description: New York: Channel Press, 1966. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. In this broadly based analysis of the Christan funeral, Dr. Jackson explains its significance, meaning, and function. An illuminating study of its history is given along with a probing evaluation of the demands and expectations placed upon it by modern society. The Christian funeral is seen as an effective vehicle for encouraging emotional stability, realistic self-appraisal, and spiritual insight on the part of all concerned. Included are 20 sample meditations that carry a quality of freshness and cover a variety of circumstances and settings. A mature handling of the subject, The Christian Funeral avoids any extremes of sentimentality or cynacism. 184 pages, the book has a bookplate at the front with a number inked in in small numbers at the bottom. The jacket has a small chip in the top front, some wear along the vertical edge, and very light wear at the spine ends. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
