Abstract: Today's understanding of what health or well-being means often refers to certain ideals of activity and achievement. Lennart Nordenfelt's concept of health will be used to analyse and discuss this phenomenon. Furthermore, using the example of the ecclesiastical paper "God is a friend of life", we will explore if such conceptions of health also affect the teachings of the Christian churches.<br /> (Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart, New York.)
