How The Bible Can Help Us Understand: Illness, Disability...

”˜The Bible,' says Pope Francis, ”˜is not a collection of books for the benefit of a privileged few. It belongs to those called to hear its message and to recognise themselves in its words.'

Each book asks what the Bible has to say about an important aspect of our lives, and can be read either privately or as part of a small study group. The authors offer thoughts and questions for reflection, prayers, and suggestions for considering a topic more deeply.

Illness, Disability and Caring explores how the Bible today can help us to view illness and disability in a way which helps people thrive, and points the way to making society a better environment where everybody is treated with respect and justice. What are the challenges facing carers in today's world, and should it be seen as a gift? What is meant by terms such as ”˜strength in weakness' and ”˜the authority of suffering'?
