"Nursing as Ministry provides the foundations of Christian nursing as ministry, taking an interprofessional perspective with contributors with backgrounds in theology, nursing, biology, and pastoral ministry. The need for a contemporary, evidence-based text has been identified and will be offered with an abundance of resources including robust pedagogical features that include critical thinking exercises, interviews with nurse leaders, case studies, suggestions for faith integration in daily nursing care, and more.
