Table of ContentsReviewsDr. Jeff Levin's Religion and Medicine is perhaps the most profound and balanced overview of the connections between religious faith and human health that has appeared in my lifetime. This is a work of impressive, expansive scholarship. No one is more capable of this discussion than Levin, the pioneer who introduced the term 'the epidemiology of religion' decades ago, and who has devoted his career to research and analysis of this field. This book transcends both sides by engaging actual evidence.It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Levin's approach, because our future may depend on our conclusions about how religion affects health in the broadest sense:the survival of our species. * Larry Dossey, MD, Author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters * A magnificent book, easy to read and encyclopedic in covering the history and current state of affairs in the religion and health world.Highly recommended for anyone in (and outside) of this field. I promise you won't be disappointed. * Harold G. Koenig, M.D, Director of the Center for Spirituality, Theology, and Health, Duke University Medical Center * Jeff Levin is without peers when it comes to the literature in this area.
