Description

Now widely recognised within palliative care, the concept of 'total pain' is an intensely theological one at heart.

In Light to those in Darkness clinician and theologian Dr Charlie Bell holds up the concept to theological scrutiny.

Bell reflects on the ways that the doctrine of 'the communion of saints', might be used to help the church understand how it can address "total pain" within individuals, and collective trauma within the wider community.

As such the book offers both an important theological reflection for those in pastoral care roles and a broader challenge to the church to become a place of solidarity and accompaniment.
