God, Faith, and Health Exploring the Spirituality-Healing Connection

"Levi does a good job summarizing much of what we know about the connection between spirituality and health. Readers new to the field will probably find themselves willing to believe that religious affiliation and activity are probably a good marker for improved health, and may even promote it. But they should be leery of those who try to take the evidence much further than that, and be conscious of the bad effects of religion can sometimes have. Read a history of the crusades for even more evidence on the negative effects of religion on the public's health."Levin, Jeff is the author of 'God, Faith, and Health Exploring the Spirituality-Healing Connection', published 2002 under ISBN 9780471218937 and ISBN 0471218936.
