Update: 2025-11-25
Description
In a world of over-medication, social media highlights, and avoided pain, how does embracing biblical lament reframe mental health and affliction from isolation to communal healing?

John Swinton is a Scottish theologian, Professor at the University of Aberdeen, founder of the Centre for Spirituality, Health and Disability, exploring the intersections of theology, mental health, and inclusive faith communities.
