After completing my biblical training in 1972, I served on the clinical preventive medicine faculty of the Medical College of Wisconsin from 1975 to 1988.  During this period I also held the position of Senior Planner in a Health Systems Agency; director of an AHECC (Allied Health Education Coordinating Council); and consulted on wellness and Wellness Spirituality (which I created and developed) in various health care delivery institutions.  These circumstances stimulated an interested in health, sickness, and healing in antiquity. The links below reflect my research and abiding interest in this area.
