"The relationships between religion, spirituality, health, biomedical institutions, complementary and alternative healing systems are widely discussed today. While many of these debates revolve around the biomedical legitimacy of religious modes of healing, the market for them continues to grow. The Routledge Handbook of Religion, Medicine and Health is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems and debates in this exciting subject and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over 35 chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into 5 parts: Healing Practices with Religious Roots and Frames Religious Actors in and around the Medical Field Organising Infrastructures of Religion and Medicine: Pluralism and Competition Boundary-Making between Religion and Medicine Religion and Epidemics Within these sections central issues, debates and problems are examined, including: health and healing, religiosity, spirituality, bio- medicine, medicalization, complementary medicine, medical therapy, efficacy, agency, and the nexus of body, mind and spirit. The Routledge Handbook of Religion, Medicine and Health is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies, the handbook will also be very useful for those in related fields, such as sociology, anthropology and medicine"
