T/RS 226 - (P) Faith and Healing: God and Contemporary Medicine

3 cr.

(Formerly T/RS 313 and T/RS 226Z)

This course will consider the history of Western medicine in the light of a range of Christian notions such as that life is a gift from God, that the body is good, that illness is a (limited) evil, that health is a responsibility. In this light, the idea that medicine is a calling and healing an art will be considered.
