Afterlives+Return+of+the+Dead+in+the+Middle+Ages

 Summary:  Afterlives: Return of the Dead in the Middle Ages by Nancy mandeville provides an out look of The Afterlife and how it was viewed during the Middle Ages in 3 broad parts. Part one covers immortality, part two covers Corporeal revenants, and part three deals with the disembodied dead. A variety of topics covered include ( but not limited ) to Spiritual mediums, Oracles, Sacrafices, resurrections, and the ancient army of the undead.  My Summary:  This book took my who idea for my paper to a whole different level. Prior to me reading some of its content, I never thought about how the views of our ancestors play a critical role in how we think about it today. Although some of these concepts are outdated, they have foundations in some of the perspectives of a lot of cultures. The Middle Age was a era where a lot of developments came about as well as death, so it is very interesting to see how death was viewed and even how it was practiced.  @http://site.ebrary.com/lib/gastate/detail.action?docID=11248549
