Gentle Rebel

The story of Nathan Winslow in The Gentle Rebel brings the saga of the Winslow family into the American Revolution. At first opposed to the idea of revolution, Nathan eventually becomes a Patriot. But his faith and courage are tested when he falls in love with beautiful Abigail Howland, a proud and spoiled Tory.

Though the current political climate might lead one to suspect that religion and medicine make for uncomfortable bedfellows, the two institutions have a long history of alliance. From religious healers and religious hospitals to religiously informed bioethics and research studies on the impact of religious and spiritual beliefs on physical and mental well-being, religion and medicine have encountered one another from antiquity through the present day. In Religion and Medicine, Dr. Jeff Levin outlines this longstanding history and the multifaceted interconnections between these two institutions. The first book to cover the full breadth of this subject, it documents religion-medicine alliances across religious traditions, throughout the world, and over the course of history. Levin summarizes a wide range of material in the most comprehensive introduction to this emerging field of scholarship to date.
