Description: Medicine and Religion : A Historical Introduction, Paperback by Ferngren, Gary B., ISBN 1421412160, ISBN-13 9781421412160, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Rejecting the notion that science and religion are and have ever been at mutually antagonistic, Ferngren surveys the interplay between medicine and religion in the Western world from the earliest civilization of Mesopotamia and Egypt to the present. He describes a range of healing and health-care issues within both the polytheistic belief systems of the ancient world and the monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. There was not room to cover mental health issues, he says, and medical ethics are only lightly touched upon. He covers the ancient Near East, Greece, Rome, early Christianity, the Middle Ages, Islam in the Middle Ages, the Early Modern Period, and the 19th and 20th centuries in the US.
