Contents:

Toward a vision of the ought -- Religious pilgrimage: from glocality to global health -- Private lens, public health: a reluctant physician in 19th century America -- From Matthew 25 to Article 25: why economic, social, and cultural (ESC) rights matter -- Between Cape Town and Memphis: religious health assets -- Don't teach me to fish: what's wrong with gift-charity?

Summary: Global health-related efforts today are usually shaped by two very different ideological approaches. They either reflect a human rights-based approach to health and equity, or they express religious or humanitarian 'aid'. Susan Holman challenges this stereotypical polarisation through stories designed to help shape a new lens on global health, one that envisions a multi-disciplinary integration of respect for religion and culture with an equal respect for and engagement with human rights and social justice.
