About This Item
A bold challenge to the sufficiency of the biomedical model to address the symptoms and causes of physical and mental illness, yet allowing the biomedical model its place in the treatment of disease, the author argues persuasively that there are untapped resources for health and wholeness in Christian faith and practice.
In addition to a helpful historical survey to connect today's needs with the wisdom of the past, the author introduces the ancient theological concept of theosis (transformation into the likeness of God) as a central metaphor for healing in the Christian community. The issues relate physical, mental, and spiritual healing to issues of justice and peacemaking. Includes practical tools for guiding individuals and Christian communities in integrating Christ-centered healing into their lives and ministries.
