Description

Explore the deep connection between faith and medicine in this academic volume from Routledge. Since its first publication in 1999, this work has examined how religion and medicine meet during the most significant moments of human existence, including birth, periods of acute suffering, and the end of life. This book investigates the historical and modern relationship between healers and religious figures. It looks at whether these two roles have worked together in harmony or existed in conflict throughout recorded history. By studying how these roles have been combined in different societies, readers gain a better understanding of the substantive interactions between spiritual practices and medical care. Based on an International Workshop, this volume provides a detailed look at the universal nature of these interactions. It is a valuable resource for those studying the history of medicine, sociology of religion, or the human experience of health and illness.
