This volume explores the many intersections of religion and health through the lens of Comparative Theology. International scholars from theology, religious studies, sociology and medicine reflect on what this interconnection means for their disciplines. Contributions address themes such as shifts in religious practice during the pandemic, medical metaphors in sacred texts, and the complex role of faith in both healing and harm.
