Shows how medicine and Christian practice together can enhance the well-being of those who are dying.
Living Well and Dying Faithfully explores how Christian practices of love, prayer, lament, compassion can contribute to the process of dying well. Working on the premise that one dies the way one lives, the book is unique in its constructive dialogue between theology and medicine as offering two complementary modes of care.
"For too long, theological perspectives have given way to the dominance of medicine in issues of death and dying and, hence, end-of-life care. Living Well and Dying Faithfully challenges the dominance of medicine, while acknowledging the vital contribution that medicine can make. [...] This is not a cookbook of how-to essays; rather readers are drawn into the debate and challenged in their attitudes and practices. [...] An important contribution to the continuing dialogue on appropriate end-of-life care." — Elizabeth MacKinlay, Director of Centre for Ageing and Pastoral Studies, Charles Sturt University
