About this audiobook
"Theology of Sickness: Spiritual Healing in the Shadow of Disease" explores one of life’s deepest realities—illness—and illuminates the hope and healing found in Christ. Dr. Venkat Potana draws from Scripture, church history, and modern theology to show how God’s redemptive love speaks into suffering. From the psalmists’ cries to Jesus’ miracles, from early church care during plagues to contemporary struggles with chronic illness, this book offers a rich perspective on faith, healing, and compassion. Designed for pastors, students, caregivers, and believers, it bridges theology and daily life, guiding readers to minister, pray, and embody Christ’s presence amid sickness. With scholarly depth and pastoral warmth, it transforms understanding of suffering, offering comfort, insight, and encouragement. Even in the shadow of disease, this work affirms that through Christ we stand in the light of eternal restoration.
