CHRISTIAN RELIGION AND WELL-BEINGDOI: 10.7833/111-1-32 Keywords: Well-being , ε δαιμον α , Christian Religion , Happiness , Health Abstract: Some researchers have defined well-being as being content, happy, healthy and prosperous. It consists of experiencing enjoyment, completeness, and meaning, rather than merely avoiding pain and conflict. To experience personal well-being it is necessary that all aspects of being function in a healthy manner. Research on the relationship between the Christian religion and well-being has concluded that nurturing, non-punitive religion is associated with mental and physical health, and that active participation in church activities that enhances the member’s social support system can be beneficial. doi: 10.7833/111-1-32
