This is the first book in the new SCM "Society and Church" series,
which attempts to make sense of the Church and Christianity in a
secular society and context, and explore what the former can
legitimately contribute to the latter. "Wellbeing" is an absolutely
central concept in our secular lives, is used with increasing
frequency in all sorts of contexts - eg. the Boots website is
"www.wellbeing.com" - and it is therefore crucial that we
understand how it relates to life, meaning and personal identity in
the 21st century. Through a combination of story, personal
reflection and philosophical analysis, Alison Webster attempts to
get "under the skin" of wellbeing, and show how the concept is
evolving in contemporary culture. She shows how the agenda
generated by wellbeing is like that which traditionally has been
generated by religion and spirituality: which is why "meeting
spiritual needs" is such big business in health and social care.
Webster argues that the Christian tradition still has much to offer
in transforming our society into one in which sickness, disability
and death are put into their rightful place - and in which
overly-commodified and individualistic notions of sickness and
disability are overcome.
