Numbers, Ronald L. - Amundsen, Darrel W. (eds.), Caring and Curing: Health and Medicine in the Western Religious Traditions, with a foreword by Martin E. Marty, Nova York - Londres, Macmillan, 1986, xx + 601 pp.
- Resum
- Most religious traditions have a rich 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 twenty 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.
