We who live in this post-modern late twentieth century culture are
still children of dualism. For a variety of rather complex reasons
we continue to split apart and treat as radical opposites body and
spirit, medicine and religion, sacred and secular, private and
public, love and justice, men and women. Though this is still our
strong tendency, we are beginning to discover both the futility and
the harm of such dualistic splitting. Peoples of many ancient
cultures might smile at the belatedness of our discovery concerning
the commonalities of medicine and religion. A cur sory glance back
at ancient Egypt, Samaria, Babylonia, Persia, Greece, and Rome
would disclose a common thread - the close union of religion and
medicine. Both were centrally concerned with healing, health, and
wholeness. The person was understood as a unity of body, mind, and
spirit. The priest and the physician frequently were combined in
the same individual. One of the important contributions of this
significant volume of essays is the sustained attack upon dualism.
From a variety of vantage points, virtually all of the authors
unmask the varied manifestations of dualism in religion and
medicine, urging a more holistic approach. Since the editor has
provided an excellent summary of each article, I shall not attempt
to comment on specific contributions. Rather, I wish to highlight
three 1 broad themes which I find notable for theological ethics."
