Theology of Illness The by Jean-Claude Larchet
Jean-Claude Larchet's 'The Theology of Illness', already translated into several languages, now appears in English and explores biblical and patristic perspectives on sickness and redemptive suffering. The questions larchet considers are fundamental: the origins of sin in a fallen world, its impact on physical health, and the healing of human nature by the incarnate Son of God. He explains healing as a means of glorifying God, stressing again the crucial role of prayer and sacramental grace in promoting genuin health. When illness plunges us into unfamiliar territory, even to the point of death, Larchet teaches us to marshal spiritual reserves in a society dominated by technology and materialism. In a time when the physician has been dubbed the high priest of the god, Modern Medicine, Larchet encourages us to situate these crucial experiences within the framework of their relationship to the unique reality of the Holy Trinity.| SKU | Unavailable |
