THE DIALOGUE WITH THE LIVING: BIOGRAPHY IN THE ORDER OF A CHRISTIAN'S FUNERAL SERVICE IN YORUBA SOCIETY BY OLATUNDE BAYO LAWUYI (Oyo State University of Technology, Nigeria) This article intends to fulfil two aims. The first is to present a biography and provide a short analysis of it, with a view to assisting other scholars in the use of this hitherto unexplored source of data. The biography that is analysed is a written document, part of an elaborate ritual that celebrates the rites de passage of the dead. It is more than simply a vehicle for the dissemination of knowledge
