"Body and Soul" is an insightful and comprehensive enquiry into the profound relationship between religious faith and physical well-being. Written by Percy Dearmer, this scholarly yet accessible work explores how spiritual practices and beliefs have historically influenced human health. The author meticulously traces the tradition of Christian healing, beginning with the foundational narratives of the New Testament and following its evolution through the centuries to the present day.

The text examines the psychological and spiritual dimensions of recovery, arguing for a holistic understanding of the human person where the needs of the body and the soul are inextricably linked. By providing a detailed historical survey of healing ministries and the role of the church in caring for the sick, Dearmer offers a compelling defense of the efficacy of spiritual care alongside physical medicine. This volume serves as both a historical record and a theological investigation into the power of faith, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the history of medicine, pastoral care, and the enduring intersection of religion and health.
