Webinar #107 Dr Daniel O’Neill - Aristotle to Jesus: Human flourishing
Recorded on 9 June 2022 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a discussion with Dr Daniel O’Neill
Flourishing as a concept has Aristotelian and other ancient transcultural roots, has been informed and enhanced by Judeo-Christian theology, has been increasingly adopted in many modern secular professional disciplines, and can be observed to be a consistent universal goal throughout human history.
This podcast proposes that the preservation and rediscovery of this principle as a common good is a reflection of God’s intentions for creation, redemption and consummation. Healing serves as the divinely-directed process by which flourishing is obtained.
Moving beyond popular Aristotelian concepts of eudaimonia, healing serves as a goal (telios) of the people of God who pursue the Source of flourishing in the supremacy of Christ.
Daniel O’Neill, MD, MTh is a physician-theologian and managing editor of Christian Journal for Global Health, Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and holds a master’s degree in theological studies from Bethel Seminary.
He has served on health and development projects among impoverished or displaced populations. He is a co-founder of Health for All Nations and author and co-editor of the book All Creation Groans: Toward a Theology of Disease and Global Health.
O'Neill, Daniel W. Moving from Aristotle to Jesus: Growing into a Flourishing Global Community. Kushimiri Papers. 2021 September.
