- Abstract
- From the foundation of research and reflection on funeral experience, this work provides a theological basis for the inclusion of personal reference within the funeral sermon, based on what it means to have an identity in Christ through baptism. The current age is marked by an existential sense of 'the power of the demonic,' an expression used by theologian A McGill to describe those forces in the world which seek to destroy persons through loss of identity. Through Christ, an identity is given to individuals that cannot be removed despite the continued suffering and death in the world. Personal reference within the funeral sermon provides an opportunity to witness to the meaning of Christian identity in the face of suffering.
