| This volume of essays aims to unpack theologically the issues behind what is undertaken in Christian based health care in. That is to say to look at issues are 'God question': what is the distinctive Christian character of these services, how do they differ to other health care systems, what is the identity which makes them unique. More than that it is at another level it goes deeper to the relationship between the Church and the world. For Church based institutions it is goes to 'God's self-revelation in Jesus Christ. He it is Who defines the nature of the Church and the world in their relationship and difference, since it is He Who is both the Creator Word and the Incarnate Word who reconciles the world to God; fulfils the divine purpose for creation', as reformed theologian writes in this volume. Or as Catholic theologian Anthony Kelly writes of a 'Catholic identity' in Church run institutions: 'Any talk of Catholic identity is, first of all, part of a much larger conversation; indeed, it contributes to the long conversation that the Church embodies, as it testifies to God's own Word becoming flesh in order to enter into the unending conversation we call 'human history'. |
