Registration is now open for our upcoming David S. Schaff lectures on April 21 at First Presbyterian Church, Youngstown, Ohio, and on April 22 in-person and online at Pittsburgh Seminary. Dr. Esther Chung-Kim will deliver “Healing Body and Soul.”

In early modern Europe, physicians studied the natural world, including plants and herbs, to better understand their medicinal qualities and ways they could be used to treat diseases or maintain health. What is less well known is that one of their 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, both of which they recorded in their medical manuals. Dr. Chung-Kim's study of these medical publications demonstrates that medical knowledge fulfilled multiple functions, ranging from popularizing home remedies for common ailments, offering guidance for preventive care, to explaining the ways that supernatural forces work through the natural world, all for the sake of healing.
