Health Sciences: The Body and the Call to Care

Fearfully and wonderfully made.

An academic survey of the human body, health, and medicine — anatomy and physiology by body system, nutrition and wellness, health and disease, public health, and healthcare as vocation. Framed by Psalm 139 and the historical truth that hospitals and nursing are largely the church’s inventions: medicine as ministry. Told with an honesty-and-hope spine — the body as wonder and mortal, answered by care — and a survey, not clinical training.

What’s inside
