Hippocrates in a World of Pagans and Christians

Hippocrates in a World of Pagans and Christians

by Prof Owsei Temkin (Author)

Synopsis

In compromise, the Church accepted Hippocratic medicine with the proviso that the Christian physician shun all pagan or heretical interpretations of naturalism-he must not, for example, believenature to be divine, the soul a mere function of the brain, or himself the true savior of the sick.
