家园 基督徒古代现代肯定也有很大不同

From their earliest upbringing, Puritans were taught to fear death. Ministers terrorized young children with graphic descriptions of Hell and the horrors of eternal damnation and told them that at the Last Judgment their own parents would testify against them. Fear of death was also inculcated by showing young children corpses and public hangings.

这是说早期新英格兰的清教徒,纯正WASP,更别说其他教派了,肯定是五花八门的理解。

最近貌似流行用‘celebration of life’取代‘funeral’,今年系里有人过世,群发邮件里第一次见到这个词,不知是不是近年的新花样?
