"In this edition of Nucleus, the focus is physical health. Why should we bother devoting an issue to it when our spiritual health is what actually matters? Rebecca Horton shows us the importance of our bodies as exemplified by Jesus (page 4).

Steve Sturman leads us through both an individual and clinical approach (page 8). In the spiritual domain, faith healing has long been the subject of controversy. Andrew Fergusson presents a review of healing miracles whilst laying down a challenge for all of us."
