The major premise of Healthcare and the Mission of God is that anchoring healthcare ministry's purpose in the mission of God enables workers to serve with joy. Today’s medical training and modern culture promote a mechanistic view of humankind, divorcing the body from the soul. A Biblical worldview enables healthcare professionals to treat the whole person, created for the purposes of God. Aligning the purpose of healthcare ministry with the mission of God frees people from both a culture-bound perspective of healthcare and a culturebound perspective of the gospel.
