Shalom

“Having spent fifteen years caring for the spiritual and medical needs of Arab-Muslims in the Middle East, Dr. Lee is highly qualified to bring us this study. Probing biblical teachings on shalom with reference to Islamic teachings on healing, Lee also reflects practically on how the church can engage in meaningful medical mission today in the Middle East.”
—Edward L. Smither, Columbia International University

“Dae-Young Lee has written what ought to be required reading for anyone doing medical missions in any Islamic context. His credentials as a medical doctor and biblical scholar bring to this complex discussion a balance that is seldom found. Furthermore, his proposal is Christocentric, culture honoring, and faithful to Scripture.”
—Jerry M. Ireland, University of Valley Forge

“The strength in seeing a reflection on shalom is knowing it is backed up by a life that models shalom. Lee is such a man, and so are his wife and children. . . . I was blessed by this wise, tranquil spirit they brought to me and others. This book hits a perfect balance in being solid from an academic and missions standpoint while including fresh case studies and interviews with Muslims on issues of contextualization in medical missions. As one who has some experience in this region of the world, the exploration of Islamic worldviews and practices was practical and has stirred deep reflection. I am already thinking of people in the Global North who need to read and interact with this book.”
