Church's Healing Ministry, The: Practical And Pastoral Reflections

Healing is a crucial aspect of Christian ministry. Leading ethicist David Atkinson asks whether suffering can ever be creative, exploring how today's conversations between theology, psychology and medical science shape our understanding of healing. He offers a practical and pastoral theology that embraces healing's different dimensions: the biblical notion of health and wholeness to healing in relation to sickness and disease, environmental health, emotional health, and pastoral care.
