* A thought-provoking look at the meaning of 'health,' 'disease,' and 'illness' from a theological perspective. Drawing on Barth, Bonhoeffer, Aquinas, disability studies, and other resources, Messer highlights bioethical issues as he explores topics such as humans as creatures; health and 'creaturely flourishing'; disease, suffering, evil, and sin; and the practical implications of caring for the sick. 272 pages, softcover from Eerdmans.
