Abstract

Our purpose this morning is to describe the nature of spiritual illness, a theological perspective of the person - as this person lives in our kind of world. All of us are sick to a degree, and so, when I talk about the nature of spiritual illness, I believe that you will see yourself in some of the things I say. In a sense, then, we are holding up a mirror. Since we have such a glorious answer to the spiritual illness this need not be the cause for despair as it would be if we had not the good news.
