Medicine and Health Care in Early Christianity
This is an excellent book for those interested in the rise of Christianity and the history of medicine. Even if one is not particularly interested in the history of medicine, the author's thesis that Christianity revolutionized the compassion and motivation for medicine is both intriguing and persuasive.
The author debunks the notion that Christians were against medical practice and favor mystical and magical healing. In fact, quite the opposite, Christian advanced the care and compassion of medicine significantly. Christians pioneered the rise of the hospital.
This book is packed with historical defense and evidence. The reader will find not just a wealth of history but profitable reflection of the impact the early church had on their social world to change it for the better.
Highly recommended.
