Toward a fuller view: The effect of globalized theology on an understanding of health and healing

With the globalization of the church, a missional theology has emerged which addresses the universal quest for health and wholeness in various contexts of suffering and affliction. The spread of Christianity, particularly as it is occurring in the global South, has led to a fuller view of God, human health, and the church’s role in health and healing. The splendor of the nations which are brought into the repository of this kingdom includes the sanctified healing practices of the nations. Exploring perspectives from Latin America, Africa, and Asia, a physician-theologian proposes how we can see that as each culture and tradition interacts, not only is there mutual learning and correction of limited views, but a more comprehensive understanding of the God who heals and a more effective call of his people to actively participate in that healing for the nations.
