In this stimulating work, Dr. Wong propounds Christian Wholism as a path to peace and joy as well as healing for our 'brokeness' and 'lostness' in the postmodern world. He portrays a critical and compelling vision of human personhood which integrates the various spheres of human existence as originally intended by God's creative act and destined to become here and now, albeit to a limited extent, but there and then wholly and perfectly through God's transforming power of resurrection. Wong discusses what it means to be whole in our spiritual, intellectual, physical, ethical, psychological, and other domains of our multidimensional personhood. Some practical suggestions are offered. He voices a hope in God's promise of a resurrected body as the gift of ultimate wholeness.
