| Abstract
|
:
|
"The book proposes a critical theory of the role and place of religion in public health. It aims at a programmatic reorientation of these two fields of practice and inquiry to more effectively align religious health assets--widely present in many contexts--and public health services and facilities. The first book of its kind, it contributes to a significant emerging global discourse on the role and place of religion in responding to major public health challenges"--
