Beschreibung:
From the ancients to the Renaissance, religion and medicine worked hand in hand to heal the people, until the scientific minds of the Enlightenment created a physical model of illness without a spiritual component. In this century, spirituality is gaining recognition as part of individuals' psychological makeup and capacity for meaning-making, and gaining currency as part of holistic concepts of wellness despite resistance from many in the scientific community.
This book relates the experience of researching, planning, and conducting a scientific study into intercessory prayer. It examines whether the impact of prayer can be measured in a formal study, based on the large number of anecdotal reports of efficacy.
