In-Person at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and OnlineDr. Esther Chung-Kim will deliver the keynote.
In early modern Europe, physicians’ motivations for studying nature was a belief that God had included the means
of healing human diseases with the structure of a divinely created universe. For this reason, some physicians in
16th-century Europe turned to an unexpected source in their study of medicine: the Bible. Full of healing stories,
the Bible provided support for various treatments and therapeutic methods. In the process of studying the Bible,
healers not only gleaned medical observations but also moral lessons.
Dr. Chung-Kim’s study of these medical publications demonstrates that medical knowledge fulfilled multiple functions, offering guidance for preventive care, all for the sake of healing.
