Opis

This is an excellent research study, which brings to the fore a theological position in an African context on the ministry of the evangelical Christian Church toward a holistic provision of health care. The study helps us appreciate the diverse tangible and intangible religious health assets found in the local churches and how they directly or indirectly enhance and contribute to better health outcomes in our communities. The work points out assets found among religious institutions, which should be appreciated and leveraged in public health policy for the well being of the people. The research unveils the vital relationship that exists between religion and health and how an integrated approach to healthcare helps to meet the health needs of people and communities.
