Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
How are we to read and understand stories of Jesus healing the lame, deaf, blind, and those with a variety of other maladies?
Pilch takes us beyond the historical and literary questions to examine the social questions of how the earliest followers of Jesus and ancient Judeans understood healing, what roles healers played, and the different emphases on healing among the gospels.
In his comparative analysis, the author draws on the anthropology of the Mediterranean as well as the models employed by medical anthropologists to understand peasant societies and their health-care systems.
