ISBN: 9780195143607 出版年：2010 页码：317 Oxford University Press

This book is the first to present new medical research establishing a connection between religion and health. It examines the subsequent implications for Eastern and Western religious traditions and for society and culture. The contributors argue that religious involvement and belief can affect certain neuroendocrine and immune mechanisms, and that these mechanisms, in turn, positively affect a wide variety of health outcomes.
