The tremendous changes in the role and significance of religion
during Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation affected
all of society. Yet, there have been few attempts to view medicine
and the ideas underpinning it within the context of the period and
see what changes it underwent. Medicine and the Reformation charts
how both popular and official religion affected orthodox medicine
as well as more popular healers. Illustrating the central part
played by medicine in Lutheran teachings, the Calvinistic
rationalization of disease, and the Catholic responses, the
contributors offer new perspectives on the relation of religion and
medicine in the early modern period. It will be of interest to
social historians as well as specialists in the history of
medicine.
