Spiritual sickness troubles American medicine. Through a
death-denying culture, medicine has gained enormous power-an
influence it maintains by distancing itself from religion, which
too often reminds us of our mortality. As a result of this
separation of medicine and religion, patients facing serious
illness infrequently receive adequate spiritual care, despite the
large body of empirical data demonstrating its importance to
patient decision-making, quality of life, and medical utilization.
This secular-sacred divide also unleashes depersonalizing, social
forces through the market, technology, and legal-bureaucratic
powers that reduce clinicians to tiny cogs in an unstoppable
machine. Hostility to Hospitality is one of the first books of its
kind to explore these hostilities threatening medicine and offer a
path forward for the partnership of modern medicine and
spirituality. Drawing from interdisciplinary scholarship including
empirical studies, interviews, history and sociology, theology, and
public policy, the authors argue for structural pluralism as the
key to changing hostility to hospitality.
