Bible & Medicine
Faith helps us understand meaning, dignity, ethics, and mission. Medicine helps us understand the body, disease, prevention, and treatment.
Why medicine belongs in this project
Numbers 19 brings us face to face with bodies, death, cleansing, and restoration. Seventh-day Adventism also has a long history of health ministry and whole-person care. Those two realities create a natural space to ask thoughtful questions about Scripture and medicine without pretending they are the same discipline.
What we hope to explore
Blood & Life
The biblical meaning of blood alongside hematology, circulation, oxygen transport, immunity, and coagulation.
Death & Dying
Biblical anthropology, resurrection, physiologic death, end-of-life ethics, grief, and compassionate care.
Purity & Disease
Ritual purity, infection, dermatology, hygiene, and why the biblical word “unclean” should not automatically be read as “diseased.”
Nutrition & Lifestyle
Adventist health principles considered alongside current evidence in nutrition, sleep, exercise, prevention, and chronic disease.
Mental Health
Depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, pastoral care, and the dignity of people who are struggling.
Medical Ethics
Human dignity, informed consent, reproductive medicine, organ transplantation, end-of-life decisions, and new medical technologies.
What we want to avoid
Health ministry should never depend on fear, shame, or exaggerated claims. Prayer should not be presented as a substitute for appropriate medical care. Natural remedies should not be called cures without evidence. Illness should never be treated as proof that someone lacks faith.
We want the medical side of this ministry to be both faithful and responsible: compassionate toward people, honest about evidence, and centered on the conviction that every person bears God-given dignity.
