First edition. This ethnographic study offers a detailed and surprising picture of how modern bio-medicine is altered when practiced in a developing country. Addressing the question of therapeutic outcome, Kaja Finkler examines various aspects of bio-medicine that influence patient response, including specific components of the doctor-patient relationship. Her study sheds light on the ways in which bio-medicine is molded by cultural context and distinguishes and universal, culturally specific, and idiosyncratic components of medical beliefs and practices.

Edgar Hoover and his executive officers to subvert King's ambitious effort to force the federal government to live up to its promises of a Great Society. The book also looks at King's last days as he helped Memphis sanitation workers in their labor~cum~civil rights struggle with a recalcitrant and racist city government. Although there is no persuasive evidence that the FBI and the Memphis police conspired to assassinate King, McKnight marshals evidence to show that neither agency was blameless. The conventional view of the Poor People's Campaign is that it was a self~inflicted failure. The blame rested squarely on the shoulders of the second~raters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference who failed to fill the leadership vacuum after King's assassination. But, as McKnight shows, there was a hidden, dark counterpoint to the accepted version~namely, the triumph of the 1960s American surveillance state and its repressive power and flagrant violation of protected freedoms. In fact, whatever the FBI wanted to do to disrupt the Campaign, it did, aided and abetted by local police agencies and elements of the federal government, including military intelligence. …

In posing this question and others, The Elusive Messiah opens a window for a new look at the age old problem of faith versus reason. To fully understand the implications of the historical search, Raymond Martin suggests we must first examine the inquiries of the individual scholars. In the book's first part. he provides an insightful overview of the major players who have written on the subject. among them E. P. Sanders, John Meier, Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza, J. D. Crossan, Marcus Borg, and N. T. Wright. In critiquing their views, Martin explores the role of what he takes to be an anti~theology theology in secular historical methods. In the second part, Martin discusses various Christian responses to the challenges presented by the historians' work, including the response proposed by Luke Timothy Johnson. Martin goes on to argue philosophically that unless one adopts a radical, multi~perspectival view of the historical Jesus, faith and reason not only may, but must coexist alongside each other. Finally, Martin assesses the impact on the future of Christianity of the challenge posed by historical Jesus studies to traditional Christian belief. Through readily understandable language and examples, Martin poses basic questions, looks for the answers, and explains how these answers correspond to larger issues. His accessible writing synthesizes complex academic arguments in ways that bring them down to earth, enabling Christians and other readers to understand what is being claimed and to test these claims for meaningfulness. …
