| Zusammenfassung: | "An interdisciplinary study that examines the ways early Christians viewed illness, pain, and health care-and how they were influenced in these matters both by their own tradition and by the culture of the larger ancient Greco-Roman world"-- "What did pain and illness mean to early Christians? And how did their approaches to health care compare to those of the ancient Greco-Roman world? In this wide-ranging interdisciplinary study, Helen Rhee examines the ways early Christians viewed illness, pain, and health care-and how they were influenced both by their own tradition and by the milieu of the larger ancient world. Throughout the book, Rhee places the history of medicine, Greco-Roman literature, and ancient philosophy in fruitful dialogue with early Christian literature and theology to show the nuanced ways Christians understood, appropriated, and reformulated Roman and Byzantine conceptions of health and wholeness from the second through the sixth centuries CE. Utilizing the contemporary field of medical anthropology, Rhee engages illness, pain, and health care as sociocultural matters. Through this and other methodologies, she explores the theological meanings attributed to illness and pain; the religious status of those suffering from these and other afflictions; and the methods, systems, and rituals that Christian individuals, churches, and monasteries devised to care for those who suffered. Rhee's findings ultimately provide an illuminating glimpse into an instrumental way that Christians began shaping a distinct identity-both as part of and apart from their Greco-Roman world"-- |

Utilizing the contemporary field of medical anthropology, Rhee engages illness, pain, and health care as sociocultural matters. Through this and other methodologies, she explores the theological meanings attributed to illness and pain; the religious status of those suffering from these and other afflictions; and the methods, systems, and rituals that Christian individuals, churches, and monasteries devised to care for those who suffered. Rhee's findings ultimately provide an illuminating glimpse into an instrumental way that Christians began shaping a distinct identity-both as part of and apart from their Greco-Roman world"-- Pflege (DE-588)4174084-1 gnd rswk-swf Frühchristentum (DE-588)4129954-1 gnd rswk-swf Krankheit (DE-588)4032844-2 gnd rswk-swf Gesundheitsfürsorge (DE-588)4136585-9 gnd rswk-swf Antike (DE-588)4068754-5 gnd rswk-swf Medicine / Religious aspects / Christianity / History Pain / Religious aspects / Christianity / History Health / Religious aspects / Christianity / History Church history / Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600 RELIGION / Biblical Studies / History & Culture RELIGION / Religion & Science Church history / Primitive and early church Health / Religious aspects / Christianity Medicine / Religious aspects / Christianity Pain / Religious aspects / Christianity 30-600 History Christentum (DE-2581)TH000005769 gbd Medizin der Antike, Krankheiten (DE-2581)TH000007651 gbd Krankheit (DE-2581)TH000006117 gbd Leid & Schmerz (DE-2581)TH000006138 gbd Medizin der Antike (DE-2581)TH000007627 gbd Gesundheitsfürsorge (DE-588)4136585-9 s Antike (DE-588)4068754-5 s DE-604 Krankheit (DE-588)4032844-2 s Pflege (DE-588)4174084-1 s Frühchristentum (DE-588)4129954-1 s Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033964155&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
