Living Well and Dying Faithfully: Christian Practices for End-of-Life Care - Paperback
Description
by John Swinton (Editor), Richard Payne (Editor), Stanley Hauerwas (Foreword by)
Living Well and Dying Faithfully explores how Christian practices - love, prayer, lament, compassion, and so on - can contribute to the process of dying well. Working on the premise that one dies the way one lives, the book is unique in its constructive dialogue between theology and medicine as offering two complementary modes of care.
