Flesh and Blood: A Necessary Introduction to Medical Missions Anthropology

  • Breakout Session
  • Main Building ATCR 206
  • November 9 2019 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Christian healthcare professionals working in cross-cultural settings need to understand medical anthropology from a perspective that goes beyond the classical "knowledge-attitudes-practices" model. This session will cover essential questions about how people of different backgrounds can understand the body, illness, health and healing as well as highlight some of the challenges in walking the line between "cultural relativism" and Biblical truths.
