Produktbeschreibung
The fifteen papers presented here examine three centuries of close, if sometimes ambiguous, links between Christian mission and medicine. The authors, who include theologians, historians, sociologists, physicians and representatives of major international health-care organisations, address themselves to such questions as: How is one to assess the results of past missionary health-care effort? How are modern-day Christian organisations to cope with the burden of institutions set up in the past? What links should the Churches maintain with official medical organisations? What position should the Churches take on the 'faith v. healing' debate begun by certain religious groups? And how is one to lay the groundwork of a theology of health and healing? The complexity of the issues outlined here can - alas - provide no easy answers. Quinze auteurs, compris thiologiens, historiens, sociologues, midecins et responsables d'organisations sanitaires, ont centri leurs riflections sur le rtle des Iglises chritiennes dans le domaine de la santi, hier dans les pays de mission, aujourd'hui dans ces mjmes rigions oy se m{rit une viritable inculturation du christianisme. Dans cet ouvrage ils abordent plusieurs questions fondamentales: comment ivaluer les risultats et lacunes de l'action sanitaire des missions dans le passi? Les communauties chritiennes actuelles doivent-elles porter le poids d'institutions mises en place hier? Quels rapports les Iglises doivent-elles entretenir avec les organisations midicales officielles? Comment les Iglises se situent-elles dans la dialectique 'foi-guirison' diveloppie par certains groupes religieux? Plus profondiment, comment poser les jalons d'une thiologiede la santi et de la guirison? Trouver les reponses sur ces questions complexes c'est une tache trhs dilicate.
