The Healthy Jew: Judaism and Modern Medicine
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
The book "The Healthy Jew" delves into the intriguing story of how Moses, the rabbis, and other Jewish thinkers were viewed as medical authorities in the 19th and 20th centuries. This shift in perception, embraced by both scholars and popular writers, led to a reevaluation of the health benefits associated with practices such as circumcision, Jewish sexual purity laws, and kosher foods.
Examining this reinterpretation within the context of broader discussions on concepts like 'civilization' and 'culture,' Orientalism, the intersection of religion and science post-Darwin, anti-Semitism, Jewish apologetics, and the revolutionary advancements in bacteriology, preventive medicine, and genetics/eugenics, "The Healthy Jew" sheds light on the evolving understanding of Jewish contributions to medicine and public health.
