Annotation'Spiritual dimensions of ageing' brings together contributions from an international group of leading scholars across the fields of psychology, theology, history, philosophy, sociology and gerontology. They discuss how we can interpret this learning for the benefit of older people and those who seek to serve and support them. The book distils the latest advances in research on spirituality, religion, belief and ageing, and is arranged in four main sections: the spiritual journey of ageing; cultures of the spirit in modernity; searching for meaning in later life; and meeting spiritual needs in older age.
