Spiritual healing
Book Description
In an era where science and spirituality often seem at odds, this thoughtful exploration bridges two worlds that may have more in common than we realize. Fraser N. Watts brings together diverse voices to examine spiritual healing through multiple lenses, creating what the contributors call a "binocular" perspective on this profound phenomenon.
Rather than viewing religious and scientific approaches as competing explanations, this collection reveals how they address different aspects of the same healing process. Contributors from various faith traditions share their understanding of what spiritual healing truly means and how it operates within their respective frameworks. Meanwhile, researchers explore the biological and psychological mechanisms that may underlie these experiences, offering insights accessible to scientific inquiry.
The book tackles fundamental questions that resonate with anyone curious about healing beyond conventional medicine. What actually happens during spiritual healing? How do different religious traditions understand and practice it? Can scientific methods illuminate aspects of these ancient practices without diminishing their sacred nature?
Through this multifaceted approach, readers discover that apparent conflicts between religious and scientific viewpoints often dissolve when we recognize they are answering different questions about the same phenomenon. For those seeking to understand healing in its fullest dimension, this work offers a balanced exploration that honors both empirical investigation and spiritual wisdom, suggesting these perspectives can complement rather than contradict each other.
