Download or read book What Christ Suffered written by Thomas W. McGovern, MD and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Christ suffered during his Passion — for you — is a powerful source of reflection and meditation. While we know that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem around A.D. 33, the details of his sufferings and death have been confused and obscured over the past two millennia. In What Christ Suffered: A Doctor’s Journey Through the Passion, Dr. Thomas W. McGovern provides the most accurate, up-to-date understanding of the physical sufferings of Jesus Christ, drawing on ancient Greek and Latin literature about crucifixion, discoveries of ancient images, archaeology, medical reenactment studies, and medical case reports. This volume corrects decades of myths and misunderstandings presented in books and articles and on websites — myths the author himself disseminated for years until he reanalyzed the data utilizing twenty-first-century advances in modern medicine and archaeological discoveries. This medical investigation of the Passion allows readers to enter more fully than ever into the reality of what Jesus suffered for our redemption. Drawing on the teachings of Pope Saint John Paul II in Salvifici Doloris, this book invites the reader to a deeper understanding of the meaning and value of human suffering — and how to practically apply it in their lives. By his sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus has won salvation for the whole world, redeeming even our sufferings through his incredible act of love. ABOUT THE AUTHOR A native of Escanaba, Michigan, Dr. Thomas W. McGovern completed his M.D. at Mayo Medical School.

Download or read book A Doctor at Calvary written by Dr. Pierre Barbet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘We did not know; nobody has ever told us that!’ These were the words, spoken in tears, of Pope Pius XII on first reading passages from A Doctor at Calvary, Dr. Pierre Barbet’s scientific and reverent study of the Crucifixion of Christ. From an examination of the Holy Shroud of Turin—the authenticity of which Dr. Barbet accepts from medical evidence—a remarkable reconstruction of Christ’s terrible agony is presented in language that cannot fail to move the heart. What kind and what degree of physical torture did Our Lord suffer on Calvary? What was the medical cause of His death? These are among the questions answered in A Doctor at Calvary, one of the most significant contributions to Christological science in modern times. Christ’s preliminary sufferings—the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the scourging, the carrying of the cross—the wounds of the hands, in the feet, in the heart, the causes of the rapid death, and the entombment are recounted with the devotion and compassion of an ardent Christian and with a brilliant doctor’s accuracy of anatomical detail. ‘Without doubt this is one of the most gripping and moving books to have been published in many a year.’—Harold C. Gardiner, S. J. ‘As an aid to vivid viewing of the Passion, this book is peerless.’—Rev. John S. Kennedy, Balancing the Books ‘...a profoundly moving study of the Passion.’—Commonwealth ‘...a remarkable reconstruction of Christ’s agony and death.’—Jubilee ‘This volume is an outstanding example of how science can contribute not only to theology, but to solid Christian piety, and thus be an aid to love of Christ.’—The Voice ‘This is a gripping and powerful book of the highest stature.’—Voice of St. Jude ‘Sincere study of this book will enable us for the first time to understand what is behind the words: ‘Jesus suffered and died for us.”—America

Download or read book Kingdom Work written by M. D. D. C. Lajoie, D. B. S. and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian and a doctor, the author saw a need for a guidebook for other Christian doctors to help merge their faith and their medical practice. Christian physicians have a hard time being evangelical about their faith within their professional lives. Patients of these Christian doctors are not sure how their faith is supposed to be considered in their medical treatment plan. Both doctors and patients have abandoned any mention of Christianity within medical offices. Every Christian doctor should be bold within and outside of the medical office thus, allowing Christian patients to share their beliefs with their doctor who shares the same faith. This book provides the reasons to do so from a Biblical standpoint, as well as from the more formal, evidence-based medicine that doctors are taught to rely on when making a medical decision. This guidebook shows how to incorporate Christianity into the medical office on all levels, ranging from office staff to treatment plans. It is also meant to be a guide for Christian patients who want their doctors to include their faith in their patient/doctor relationship. This book has been written to elevate the relationship shared by the doctor and patient. Both doctor and patient, being in Christ, have a crucial role and responsibility to each other in the doctor-patient relationship. This book is meant to expand the consciousness of the Christian medical community.
Download or read book Praying Doctors written by Rene Pelleya-Kouri and published by . This book was released on 2009-08-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book exposes the whole panorama of healing. I am a testimony of it. It exposes the counterfeit realms and it shows that it is only through Jesus that salvation and healing comes. It is definitely training and equipping book for the supernatural realms of the Kingdom of God. It starts with the fundamental issue of salvation. It exposes the Kingdom of God in the market place. Specifically in the medical field. Most of my patients are not saved. I believe that there is a spiritual revolution invading the medical field. We need to be absolutely clear about who Jesus is and the absolute need to lead people into salvation everywhere including the medical office. There is a transferable healing anointing. I have already met with doctors in Ecuador, was at Yale University with Randy Clark and Francis Macnutt and I will be teaching on November 1st and 2nd, 2008 at St. Francis Hospital Nsambya in Uganda, Africa. So this book is part of the revolution to transform the medical field, to bring the Kingdom of God into the medical office, hospitals, and universities. Again it exposes and equips the reader to the whole panorama of healing: Salvation, Holy Spirit, Physical Healing, Inner Healing, Deliverance, Holy Visitations, and Impartation.
Download or read book Finishing Well to the Glory of God written by John Dunlop, MD and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people want to finish life well, yet so few take the time necessary to carefully think through what that entails. Some say it means contentment, happiness, and freedom from pain. Many desire to simply maintain their dignity and enjoy their family and loved ones. These are reasonable goals; yet, there is a more profound, uniquely Christian approach to the end of life. John Dunlop, a medical doctor who has practiced for over thirty years and specializes in geriatrics, combines his medical expertise, firsthand experience with patients, and firm commitment to Scripture to propose nine strategies for finishing life well. He shows how with proper physical, emotional, and spiritual preparation, aging and death need not be a fight to the finish but a purposeful resting in the arms of the Savior. Theologically robust and practically relevant, this book will prove to be a sensitive and helpful resource for anyone facing end-of-life issues.
Download or read book Faith in the Great Physician written by Heather D. Curtis and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of evangelical faith healing in nineteenth-century America examines the nation’s shifting attitudes about sickness, suffering, and health. Faith in the Great Physician tells the story of how participants in the divine healing movement transformed the ways Americans coped with physical affliction and pursued bodily wellbeing. Heather D. Curtis offers critical reflection on the theological, cultural, and social forces that come into play when one questions the purpose of suffering and the possibility of healing. Belief in divine healing ran counter to a deep-seated Christian ethic that linked physical suffering with spiritual holiness. By engaging in devotional disciplines and participating in social reform efforts, proponents of faith cure embraced a model of spiritual experience that endorsed active service, rather than passive endurance, as the proper Christian response to illness and pain. Emphasizing the centrality of religious practices to the enterprise of divine healing, Curtis sheds light on the relationship among Christian faith, medical science, and the changing meanings of suffering and healing in American culture.

Download or read book Medicine and Health Care in Early Christianity written by Gary B. Ferngren and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2016-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on New Testament studies and recent scholarship on the expansion of the Christian church, Gary B. Ferngren presents a comprehensive historical account of medicine and medical philanthropy in the first five centuries of the Christian era. Ferngren first describes how early Christians understood disease. He examines the relationship of early Christian medicine to the natural and supernatural modes of healing found in the Bible. Despite biblical accounts of demonic possession and miraculous healing, Ferngren argues that early Christians generally accepted naturalistic assumptions about disease and cared for the sick with medical knowledge gleaned from the Greeks and Romans. Ferngren also explores the origins of medical philanthropy in the early Christian church. Rather than viewing illness as punishment for sins, early Christians believed that the sick deserved both medical assistance and compassion. Even as they were being persecuted, Christians cared for the sick within and outside of their community. Their long experience in medical charity led to the creation of the first hospitals, a singular Christian contribution to health care. "A succinct, thoughtful, well-written, and carefully argued assessment of Christian involvement with medical matters in the first five centuries of the common era . . . It is to Ferngren's credit that he has opened questions and explored them so astutely. This fine work looks forward as well as backward; it invites fuller reflection of the many senses in which medicine and religion intersect and merits wide readership."—Journal of the American Medical Association "In this superb work of historical and conceptual scholarship, Ferngren unfolds for the reader a cultural milieu of healing practices during the early centuries of Christianity."—Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith "Readable and widely researched . . . an important book for mission studies and American Catholic movements, the book posits the question of what can take its place in today's challenging religious culture."—Missiology: An International Review Gary B. Ferngren is a professor of history at Oregon State University and a professor of the history of medicine at First Moscow State Medical University. He is the author of Medicine and Religion: A Historical Introduction and the editor of Science and Religion: A Historical Introduction.
