Death and the Afterlife

In my last written report, I will look into the theme, Death and the Afterlife. It is an extremely poignant theme relating to a variety of religious traditions and gives an idea as to how the respective religions have perceived the purpose and destiny of human beings. I shall contrast the teachings of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, after which I will compare and contrast them with Catholicism.
