Description
A Fresh Dissection of the Relationship Between Medicine, Medical History, & Rabbinic Literature
- With a Foreword by Rabbi Dr. Avraham Steinberg
- In this novel and innovative work, Edward Reichman traces the medical understanding of anatomy, physiology, and therapeutics across time and genres of rabbinic literature. The accumulated literature of centuries of Jewish legal discourse on medical topics serves as the foundation for contemporary Jewish bioethics. As these writings span the chronological gamut of scientific and medical discovery, it is essential to view each source in its proper historical context. Marshalling a vast array of sources from multiple disciplines, Reichman demonstrates the importance of the historical dimension not only for medical halakhic research, but to better understand the unique relationship of Judaism and medicine throughout the centuries.
- "In his classic and vibrant style, Rabbi Dr. Edward Reichman has produced a masterpiece, integrating sources of halakha and medical history with the most recent medical advances. It is evident that Dr. Reichman's years of intensive research are now followed by his superb presentation of complex yet clear explanations of medical topics. The work is profusely annotated throughout with a multitude of halakhic, medical, and historical references. His scholarly and comprehensive discussions will prove invaluable to rabbis, physicians, and medical historians, as well as anyone wishing to gain an appreciation of the continuing achievements in the synthesis of halakha and modern medicine."
