Theology of Sickness: Spiritual Healing in the Shadow of Disease

'Theology of Sickness: Spiritual Healing in the Shadow of Disease' is a groundbreaking exploration of one of humanity's most universal experiences: sickness, and the hope of divine healing that speaks into it. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and contemporary theology, this book offers a sweeping yet deeply pastoral vision of how Christians have understood illness across the centuries and how the gospel continues to bring healing in today's world. From the cries of the psalmists to the miracles of Jesus, from the care of the early church during plagues to modern struggles with chronic illness and global health crises, this work reminds us that suffering is never meaningless when seen through the lens of God's redemptive love.Written with clarity, depth, and compassion, this book bridges the gap between theology and daily life. It guides readers through the biblical foundations of healing, the witness of Christian tradition, and the practical challenges of ministering to the sick in a complex and broken world. Rich in insight and grounded in faith, it encourages believers not only to seek God's healing but also to live as agents of His compassion, embodying Christ's presence in homes, congregations, and communities.More than a theological study, Theology of Sickness is a testimony of hope. It speaks to pastors, students, caregivers, and everyday Christians alike, anyone who has ever wrestled with the mystery of pain, prayed for healing, or longed for the day when "there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain" (Rev. 21:4). With scholarly depth and pastoral warmth, this book is both a resource for the mind and a balm for the soul, affirming that in Christ, even in the shadow of disease, we stand in the light of eternal restoration.
