Most religious traditions have a rich, if largely forgotten,
heritage of involvement in medical issues of life, death, and
health. Religious values influence our behavior and attitudes
toward sickness, sexuality, and lifestyle, to say nothing of more
controversial subjects such as abortion and euthanasia. The essays
in this important book illuminate the history of health and
medicine within the Judeo-Christian tradition. Bringing together 20
original articles by expert scholars in the fields of the history
of religion and the history of medicine, "Caring and Curing"
provides a fascinating and enlightening overview of how religious
values have come to affect the practice of medicine and medical
care.
