Faith Encounters in a Medical World Robert L Nilsen

People of faith involved in medicine and science daily are often belittled for their beliefs, or even become confused themselves. Unbelievers are often perplexed by the conclusions of science as they consider whether life has a spiritual component. Naturalism is often militant against Christianity and becomes involved in philosophy and not science, as it reaches conclusions that go way beyond the scientific facts. Taken from personal encounters you will be introduced to medical professionals in every chapter that grappled with faith and medicine. Faith Encounters illuminates the dynamics of supporting true science and how scientific facts are compatible with the Bible and a life of faith. Faith is not a 'blind leap', but rather a reasoned step of faith. Faith Encounters fully supports science and the Bible demonstrating that faith and medicine can both be held with intellectual honesty. Science, the Bible, philosophy, history, science, medicine, and faith are woven together in support of the fact that faith is reasonable and many working in medicine embrace it.
