Christ and wholeness - Dame Raphael Frost

Expectations of health and well-being have been transformed by advances in medical science over the last century. These advances have also seen a variety of approaches to healing. For Christians they have raised questions about the nature of health and the relationship between physical and spiritual well-being. What is Christian healing? How is it unique? What place does healing have in the ministry of the Church? In Christ and Wholeness Dame Raphael Frost clarifies our appreciation of Christian healing, exploring the beliefs and practices of the early Church as the proper context for the understanding and practice of Christian healing in the modern world. She develops her ideals by showing what is needed for a fuller and more effective restoration of the healing ministry of the Church.
