In its December 2009 issue, Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith states “The second edition of Spiritual Dimensions of Nursing Practice is a timely update that fulfills its specified goals. The book constitutes an excellent addition to the nursing and allied health literature.”
Ever since the first edition of Verna Benner Carson’s Spiritual Dimensions of Nursing Practice went out of print, second-hand copies have been highly sought after by practitioners in the field and nursing school faculty who appreciated the comprehensive scope of the seminal work on spirituality and health. In this highly anticipated revised edition, Carson and her co-editor, Harold G. Koenig, have thoroughly revised and updated this classic in the field.

Recently, Tom Oord, a professor, author, and theologian from the Pacific Northwest, wrote an interesting blog post titled Verisimilitudinous Polkinghorne.

America Magazine, a Catholic weekly magazine in the United States, recently explored the concept of thrift by reviewing two recent publications on the topic: Thrift: Rebirth of a Forgotten Virtue by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch (Encounter Books) and our very own Franklin’s Thrift: The Lost History of an American Virtue by David Blankenhorn, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead and Sorcha Brophy-Warren.
America on Franklin’s Thrift:
. . .quite accessible to the general reader. Engaging the changing legacy of thrift from the 18th century to the present, the contributors to this volume write energetically and with a grounded conviction on a subject of deep cultural significance as they challenge and confound “reductive and unappealing” views thrift.

Calling it “an introduction to the intersection of science and religion that is addressed to the thoughtful but nonspecialist reader,” CHOICE, the premier review magazine for academic libraries, examines several of the book’s strengths, noting how even-handed the author is in addressing several different world religions and how thorough she is in exploring new technologies. If you are reading this blog (or any blog, for that matter), chances are that you are fairly technology-savvy, which further means that you might find it quite interesting to think about how things like virtual environments, social networking, gentic engineering, or nanotechnology might carry positive and/or negative implications for religious experience.
