Abstract

In this fourth issue of the Journal of Religion and Health for 2022, four key themes are explored: (1) religious and spiritual issues in China, (2) gender-related issues affecting communities, couples, women and men, (3) a multitude of philosophical perspectives regarding medicine, science, health and religion, (4) and an array of new or adapted religion/spirituality measurements and scales. Finally, we also recall and celebrate the life of former JORH Editorial Board member, Professor John S. Peale.

Keywords: China; Gender; J.S. Peale; Measurement scales; Medical and religious philosophy.
