The Uncommon Touch
Anglican priest, New Testament professor, and journalist, Harpur provides a balanced investigation of the religious roots and methods of healing. In the process, Harpur challenges the medical profession to openness toward alternative healing methods, churches to "recover the awareness that healing in the fullest sense of the word is really what they are about," and people to greater responsibility for their own health and for becoming healing influences on others. He believes that "trust and confidence in a loving God ...can constitute a potent factor in the self-healing process." Recommended especially for public, seminary, and medical libraries.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
