About the Book

Currently, religion is absent or severely underemphasized within the medical humanities, and The Routledge Handbook of Spirituality, Religion, and the Medical Humanities forges direct engagements between the fields of medical and health humanities, on the one hand, and religious studies and theological studies on the other. This volume consists of 35 chapters from an international and interdisciplinary range of contributors, organized into 6 parts: Religious Studies and Theology in the Medical Humanities: Tensions and Transformations The Socio-Spiritual Self Culture and the Culturally Mediated Space, Place, and Bodies Beliefs, Brains, and Behaviours Spirituality and Religion in Healthcare: Application and Impact By directly connecting major questions and themes from each of these domains, this volume firmly establishes a needed bridge and valuable resource for stakeholders with an interest in how mental and physical health relates to the human drive for meaning.
