While some intellectuals at the end of the 19th century argued that scientific progress would eventually cause the demise of religion, it is evident that this has not been the case and that contemporary science is in fact not necessarily inimical to a religious worldview. So, a fruitful dialogue between science and religion has become a reality. But there is also a more fundamental question that arises, which is not simply the relationship of the sciences or of other disciplines to religion, but rather whether faith can and should have an impact on teaching and research. The majority of the essays in this volume hold that the Christian faith provides definite cognitive advantages and that to leave one's faith at the entrance of the campus, thus separating faith from reason, leads to a schizophrenic view of the Christian's intellectual life. This volume thus shows how the religious faith of intellectuals - not all of whom are Christian - exercises a real influence on their scholarship. In consonance with the thought of Pope John Paul II, it is the contention of the scholars whose essays make up this volume that a faith that imbues research and teaching will effect a transformation not only in themselves, but also in their students and eventually in society. Hence, a faith that is fully received, thought out and lived, will penetrate culture; and there is no doubt that present-day culture stands in need of transformation. In fact, the encyclical ""Fides et Ratio"", from which a number of the essays draw inspiration, attributes the secularization of the West in great part to the separation of faith from culture. Jacques Maritain himself, more than fifty years ago, recognized that modern and contemporary culture had severed its ties with the sacred and in so doing had turned its back on humanity. Now in the 21st century, as always, human beings have a profound need for meaning and transcendence, a need which scholarly reflection such as that found in this volume can help to satisfy.

Faith Community Nursing

Faith community nursing is a nursing practice specialty that focuses on the intentional care of the spirit, the promotion of an integrative model of health, and the prevention and minimization of illness within the context of a faith community. Such practitioners consider the spiritual, physical, psychological, and social aspects of an individual to create a sense of harmony with self, others, the environment, and a higher power. Consequently, healing is the process of integrating the individual’s body, mind, and spirit to create wholeness, health, and a sense of well-being for that person.This book addresses the essential aspects of such practice. It completely updates the 2012 edition, reflecting the complex requirements and changes that underlay faith community nursing, health care, and the nursing profession as well as their enduring components and qualities.Continuing and building on more than a decade of collaboration, Health Ministries Association, Inc. and American Nurses Association have again published an authoritative, concise, and practical resource. To do so, the two groups convened a team of twenty-one practicing faith community nurses to develop the text with input from other nurses in three rounds of review. The result: the most current and comprehensive delineation of the competent level of nursing practice and professional performance that is common to and expected from all faith community nurses.The book’s single scope of practice builds on what is expected of all registered nurses, specifying the who, what, where, when, why, and how of faith community nursing practice. Each standard is measurable by a set of specific competencies that serve as evidence of minimal compliance with that standard. The standards themselves - six standards of practice and ten standards of professional performance - are those by which all RNs in faith community nursing are held accountable for their practice. The book’s discussion of the scope of faith community nursing practice lends a comprehensive context for understanding and using the standards, addressing its practice priorities and characteristics, practice environments and settings, education and training requirements, key issues and trends, and ethical and conceptual bases.While primarily for faith community nurses and the nursing profession, it is also aimed at other healthcare providers; spiritual leaders, families, and members of faith communities; and employers, insurers, policymakers, and regulators.

"...Quirky and eclectic, this book provides a new perspective on the 'maker of heaven and earth' from one whose faith is entwined with his own making."Senior Professor Roger Lewis, Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences, University of WollongongWhat is making? How does it interact with faith to shape our lives? Is our existence the work of an infinitely powerful maker, or the result of an infinitely impossible chance?In this book, Dr. Phillip McKerrow discusses these and other questions as he explores reasons for believing in Jesus in many maker contexts, including the impact of faith in Jesus concerning his own making.To skilfully debunk some of the common myths and beliefs surrounding making and its multifaceted relationship with the Christian faith, the author draws upon many years of experience in the realm of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics).In each chapter, McKerrow dives into a different area of STEAM, offering novel and transformative ideas that have the power to fundamentally change your perspective on both making and faith in Jesus.Using personal anecdotes and creative stories, he provides a unique insight into the influence of the Christian faith on the life of a maker. To develop this insight, Dr. McKerrow explores a broad area of human thought about the existence of an infinitely powerful maker. To make this exploration of fascinating thinking a straightforward and engaging read, he also employs clear and concise language.
