Faith and Public Health

This book explores the intersection of faith, ethics, and public health by examining the Namatete Congregation of the Zambezi Evangelical Church's response to the COVID-19 vaccine in Malawi. It investigates how religious beliefs shape vaccine perceptions and decisions, providing a nuanced analysis of the church's role in navigating public health crises.Grounded in Christian virtue ethics, the study offers insights into how faith communities can balance theological principles with public health imperatives, highlighting the potential for religious institutions to contribute positively to pandemic response efforts and ethical decision-making.
