Health and Medicine Among the Latter-day Saints: Science, Sense, and Scripture
New York: Crossroad Publishing Company, 1993. Hardcover/dust jacket. 234 pp. Reg. $24.95. Part of the Health/Medicine and the Faith Traditions series produced by the Lutheran General Health System. This volume is one of a dozen in a series which "explores the ways in which major religions relate to the questions of human well-being" (ii). Some of the other volumes have treated health and medicine in the context of the Lutheran, Catholic, Christian Science, Hindu, and Islamic faiths.
Aimed mainly at professional care givers, the books also give lay people a new view of their religious traditions by analyzing a crucial aspect of their belief and practice. Each volume is organized around ten themes, including death, suffering, healing, madness, sexuality, morality, and dignity, although Bush has packaged the themes in a unique way to present the Mormon case with greatest clarity and power.
