Résumé

This edited collection explores what spiritual healing is and how it works, from a variety of religious and scientific points of view. It is demonstrated that these two apparently opposed perspectives answer different questions about spiritual healing, and there is not necessarily any conflict between them.

Spiritual Healing Résumé

Spiritual Healing: Scientific and Religious Perspectives Fraser Watts (University of Cambridge)

There has recently been much interest in the relationship between science and religion, and how they combine to give us a 'binocular' perspective on things. One important phenomenon which has been neglected in recent work is the concept of spiritual healing. This edited collection explores a variety of approaches to spiritual healing from different religious points of view, identifying both what it is and how it works. The authors also explore the biological and psychological processes, open to scientific enquiry, through which healing may be mediated. As such, this book indicates the central proposition that religious and scientific perspectives answer different questions about healing, and there is not necessarily any conflict between them.

Spiritual Healing Avis

'I have been looking for [this book] for the 20 years I have been involved in the healing industry ... Most books on spiritual healing are written by enthusiasts and make no attempt to advance our understanding in a dispassionate way. This book does.' Methodist Recorder
