Recenzii
"What a terrific book, and what a great contribution. All of us who teach courses on the history of medicine or on the intersections among religion, health, and healing owe a great debt of gratitude to Gillian McCann. This is a book that I've been waiting for—and praying for—for many years. It should become a go-to text for such courses for years to come."
Jeff Levin, PhD, MPH, University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health and professor of medical humanities at Baylor University
"Gillian McCann has written a marvelous book that helps us to better understand the world’s religions through the lens of health and healing. What is particularly impressive is how she covers both the different traditions as well as how those traditions have changed over time."
Amir Hussain, professor of theological studies, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles
"The book is skilfully written for clients and healthcare providers by a qualified professional. It is a courageous book that holds transformational potential for clients and caregivers to see into the varied meanings within the experience of illness, a relationality that enhances one’s wellbeing, and a peace beyond the suffering."
Rev. Mary Sue Barnett, level 1 trauma center chaplain and co-editor of Spiritual Healing from Sexual Violence: An Intersectional Guide
