Excerpt from the DJ flap
Here is a wise and thoughtful book by a physician of profound religious faith who believes that man's physical and emotional health are rooted in a wholesome spiritual life.
Drawing on his own long, rich medical experience, the author examines many of the problems that doctors face in their daily practice and shows how the Biblical understanding of human nature is an invaluable help in solving them:
- the spiritual meaning of illness
- the failure of scientific medicine to treat the whole man
- religion and magic
- psychoanalysis and the Bible
- sin and disease
- life and death
- a doctor's relation with the patient
- social medicine
- love, marriage and celibacy
