| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index John Wesley?s Primitive Physic (1747) achieved twenty-three editions in his lifetime, ensuring its popular ? and controversial ? status in eighteenth-century medicine.This is the first full-length study to examine the theological, intellectual and cultural background to one of the period?s most successful medical texts. By exploring Wesley?s work in the context of his theology, 'A Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine? extends the on-going reconfiguration of the relationship between religion and medicine.Wesley was on a theological mission to recover the primitive purity of the first Christians. Yet the remedies contained within Primitive Physic suggest a pragmatic thinker, whose concern for spiritual health did not prevent him from providing practical assistance to those who needed it. The evolution of Wesley?s thinking also demonstrates some of the struggles he faced as leader of the Methodist movement, such as the way he handled contemporary criticism of Primitive Physic when religious 'enthusiasm? was often conflated with medical 'quackery?.'A Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine? will be of interest not only to medical and literary historians, but to anyone who is interested in the way religion influences medicine.Deborah Madden is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Theology Faculty at the University of Oxford. Currently, she is completing a book, The Paddington Prophet, about the self-styled prophet, Richard Brothers (1757?1824), as part of the 'Prophecy Project? at Oxford.ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgementsPart I: The Medical Holism of Primitive Physic1 Introduction: Primitive Physic Explain?d in an Easy and Natural Method2 John Wesley?s Hermeneutics of Primitive Christianity and Practical Piety3 Experience and the Common Interest of Mankind: Physic, an Art or Science in Eighteenth-Century England?4 Preserving Health, or a Few Plain and Easy RulesPart II: Primitive Physic: 'A Collection of Receipts?5 Primitive Physic: Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine for Health and Long Life6 Conclusion: The Search for Pristine PurityBibliographyIndex |

By exploring Wesley?s work in the context of his theology, 'A Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine? extends the on-going reconfiguration of the relationship between religion and medicine.Wesley was on a theological mission to recover the primitive purity of the first Christians. Yet the remedies contained within Primitive Physic suggest a pragmatic thinker, whose concern for spiritual health did not prevent him from providing practical assistance to those who needed it. The evolution of Wesley?s thinking also demonstrates some of the struggles he faced as leader of the Methodist movement, such as the way he handled contemporary criticism of Primitive Physic when religious 'enthusiasm? was often conflated with medical 'quackery?.'A Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine? will be of interest not only to medical and literary historians, but to anyone who is interested in the way religion influences medicine.Deborah Madden is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Theology Faculty at the University of Oxford. Currently, she is completing a book, The Paddington Prophet, about the self-styled prophet, Richard Brothers (1757?1824), as part of the 'Prophecy Project? at Oxford.ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgementsPart I: The Medical Holism of Primitive Physic1 Introduction: Primitive Physic Explain?d in an Easy and Natural Method2 John Wesley?s Hermeneutics of Primitive Christianity and Practical Piety3 Experience and the Common Interest of Mankind: Physic, an Art or Science in Eighteenth-Century England?4 Preserving Health, or a Few Plain and Easy RulesPart II: Primitive Physic: 'A Collection of Receipts?5 Primitive Physic: Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine for Health and Long Life6 Conclusion: The Search for Pristine PurityBibliographyIndex Wesley, John / 1703-1791 Wesley, John / 1703-1791 gnd Wesley, John / 1703-1791 / Primitive physick Wesley, John 1703-1791 Primitive physic Criticism and interpretation Wesley, John 1703-1791 Primitive physic (DE-588)7600464-8 gnd rswk-swf Wesley, John 1703-1791 (DE-588)118631713 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1750-1800 gnd rswk-swf Religion and Medicine History, 18th Century RELIGION / Christianity / General bisacsh BODY, MIND & SPIRIT / Gaia & Earth Energies bisacsh Medizin gnd Religion gnd Primitive physic (Wesley, John) fast Medicine / Religious aspects fast Christentum Medizin Religion Medicine Religious aspects Medizin (DE-588)4038243-6 gnd rswk-swf Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 gnd rswk-swf Wesley, John 1703-1791 (DE-588)118631713 p Medizin (DE-588)4038243-6 s Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 s Geschichte 1750-1800 z 1\p DE-604 Wesley, John 1703-1791 Primitive physic (DE-588)7600464-8 u 2\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=213806 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
