Modern, scientific medicine has been a wonderful gift to humanity. Yet we are in danger of forgetting the art of medicine, which is vital for the well-being of both healthcare professionals and those for whom they care. Limited resources, constant time pressures, ethical questions and increasing specialisation further increase this risk. Setting out the case for an integrative approach to healthcare,
Serving Two Masters? is thoroughly scientific while recognising the limitations of science. It acknowledges the importance of faith for patients and professionals alike. Dealing with some common misconceptions about the relationship between faith and science, the author argues that the Christian worldview is an excellent foundation for healthcare. It provides a vision for holistic care, an ethical framework for good practice, and a motivation to care selflessly for others. Accessible and practical whilst integrating firm biblical foundations and robust scientific evidence, students and practitioners alike will find this book invaluable.
