Guides for Understanding Diverse Worldviews within an Inter-Cultural Society

This guide is a work published by Frederick Memorial Healthcare System's Director of Pastoral Care Services, the Reverend Dr. G. Kay Myers It details how medical care and religious belief so often overlap, and how the healthcare system strives to treat the whole patient -- not just his or her physical ailments.

Reverend Myers then considers a total of 11 major world religions; highlighting how each faith views its deity or deities, human nature, what each considers to be a person's purpose in life, the religion's views on morality and spirituality, and finally their views on life after death.
