The Great Physician

About the book

Synopsis

Twenty years in the making, The Great Physician: Faith, Medicine, and the God Who Heals grew from a nuclear-medicine physician’s notice of the structural parallels between clinical diagnosis and the vision of Scripture: the physician images the invisible; faith perceives hidden grace. It moves in a clinical arc — from diagnosis (sin as systemic disease, a spiritual pathophysiology) through Christ’s clinical encounters and the Cross as the great intervention, to the Church as a field hospital and the limits and hopes of medicine today.

A companion to Jesus Christ, MD, it draws together Scripture, medicine, and the life of faith into a single, unhurried meditation on the God who heals more than bodies.
