Religio-Medical Masquerade

By Frederick W. Peabody

Book Overview

The Religio-Medical Masquerade is a book written by Frederick W. Peabody that explores the intersection of religion and medicine in the 19th century. Peabody examines the ways in which religious beliefs influenced medical practices, and how medical practitioners used religion to gain credibility and authority. He argues that the blending of religion and medicine led to a masquerade, in which medical practitioners presented themselves as religious authorities in order to gain the trust of their patients. Peabody also explores the ways in which this masquerade affected patient care and the overall development of medical science. The book provides a historical perspective on the relationship between religion and medicine, and sheds light on the ways in which these two fields have influenced each other throughout history.1910. A complete exposure of Christian Science. The author, a lawyer of nearly twenty-five years, intends the purpose of this book to show Christian Science, in both its aspects, to be a conscious imposition and deliberate fraud of its founder and discoverer, devoid alike of religious truth and healing power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
