Well-being is a familiar term in academic literature and public discourse. It captures the imagination by addressing issues related to the social good and the quest for personal happiness. It embraces a wide variety of concerns: age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, self-esteem, health, class, education, institution and ecosystems, among many issues.

The Christian faith has been a powerful contributor to this tradition over the centuries.

What difference does the study of well-being from a Christian perspective make?
