Summary:
"In Faith-based health justice, a stellar assembly of scholars mines critical insights into the promotion of health justice across Christian and Islamic faith traditions and beyond. Contributors to the volume consider what health justice might mean today, if developed in accordance with faith traditions whose commandment to care for the poor, ill, and marginalized lies at the core of their theology, and what kind of transformation of both faith traditions and public policies would be needed in the face of the health justice challenges in our turbulent times"--Page 4 of cover.
