Recorded on 7 April 2022 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Santhosh Mathew chairs a discussion with Dr Daniel O'Neill.
Dr O'Neill presents a four-fold theological framework for health-related mission revealing God’s healing intentions in creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. Starting with creation, health and wholeness, he then identifies the origins of disease processes through corruption and fractured relations which creates a deep yearning for healing. Then traces a compelling biblical call to participate in salvation, healing and mission for an active engagement for health workers, showing what healing is, what it requires, and what it results in – abundant life.
Daniel O’Neill, MD, MTh is a physician-theologian and managing editor of Christian Journal for Global Health, Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and holds a master’s degree in theological studies from Bethel Seminary. He has served on health and development projects among impoverished or displaced populations. He is a co-founder of Health for All Nations and author and co-editor of the book All Creation Groans: Toward a Theology of Disease and Global Health.
