Understanding the Global AIDS Pandemic and Responding Through Faith and Action
L. Barton, M. Dodd, J. Hall, and J. Pedrick, editors

A Guide to Acting on AIDS is designed to equip Christian college students with a deeper awareness of the global AIDS pandemic, why their faith should inform their response and how they can put their faith into action.

This practical study examines HIV/AIDS through a variety of different disciplines and perspectives, such as the scientific, socioeconomic, political and humanitarian impacts of the disease. Each chapter explores what the Bible says about these issues and what is being done globally to respond. The guide is designed for individuals or for groups and includes discussion questions and proposed action items for the readers.
