Description
Touch and Healing of the World explores one of the most familiar yet profound of human experiences - touch. In a series of reflections that focus upon events in the life of Christ (beautifully portrayed in contemporary icons, in full color plates), Dr Daniel Hinshaw contemplates the mystery of the incarnation, focusing on the meaning and importance of touch. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from icons, hymns, and the writings of the Fathers of the Church to the most recent findings of modern medicine, Dr Hinshaw invites readers to understand the fuller implications of the saving work of Christ. The Lord entered into every aspect of our life - the tender embrace of mother and child, the humility of a servant as he washed his disciples' feet, and the horror of torture as he was scourged, beaten, and crucified - so that we might enter into his life - his transfiguration, his resurrection, and the never-ending joy of his kingdom. -- from back cover.
