Scripture and Scrubs

A Christian Calling to Healthcare

About this book

When Christian healthcare professionals engage in their practice, they serve people who are hurting, ill, and in positions of vulnerability—from newborn infants to people in their last days of life. As a group, Christian healthcare professionals serve on the frontlines of spiritual and temporal warfare where theology and praxis intersect. In Scripture and Scrubs: A Christian Calling to Healthcare, social work professor Michael E. Sherr, dean of nursing Angelia M. Mickle, and theologian Jason K. Lee partner together to provide Christian healthcare professionals with tangible guidance and scriptural encouragement in their chosen vocation. Part One investigates the role of the healthcare professional as an agent of common grace and a frontline worker for the God of the Bible. Part Two then unpacks specific character traits of the Christian healthcare professional and ends with concrete tips for thriving amid the many challenges of healthcare service.

Useful as a textbook for students pursuing degrees in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, psychology, social work, and allied health fields, each chapter provides real-life scenarios that can be used as case studies. Additionally, chapters include questions for further reflection or classroom discussion. Grounded in both theological insights and the experiences of longtime healthcare professionals, Scripture and Scrubs provides a Christian vision of healthcare practice that will encourage weary professionals and inspire students preparing to enter their respective areas of service.
