\u201cAngelical Conjunction\u201d was the term coined by the seventeenth-century New England Puritan Cotton Mather to denote the mutual affinity of medicine and religion. Indeed, medical and spiritual practices have a long history of coexistence in many religious traditions. This connection took many forms, from the pious provision of health care (in person or through endowed charity), to the archetypal figure of the healing prophet.<\/p>\n

This conference therefore aims to explore the connection between medicine and religion across the time-span of the late medieval and early modern eras, and\u00a0 from an intercultural perspective. Taking as our focus the Mediterranean, the Islamic World and Europe, and the various Christianities, Islams and Judaisms that flourished there, we aim to develop methodological and theoretical perspectives on the \u201cangelical conjunction(s)\u201d of these two spheres. How did the entanglement of religion and medicine shape epistemologies in both of these spheres? What are the conceptions of the body and its relationship to the soul that these entanglements assumed or envisioned? What were the limits to coexistence? How did the \u201cconjunction\u201d change over time?<\/p>\n

They\u00a0invite papers on a range of themes that include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n

\u2013\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The relationship between spiritual charisma and medical practice
\n\u2013\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The involvement of medical practitioners in theological debates
\n\u2013\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Medicine and \u201cfringe\u201d religious traditions (e.g. Hermetic, heretical, \u201coccult\u201d\u2026)
\n\u2013\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Representations of the healer-prophet or healer-saint in art
\n\u2013\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Debates on body and soul informed by medical and theological knowledge
\n\u2013\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Spiritualization of physical illness
\n\u2013\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Devotion as therapy, and (the provision of) therapy as devotion<\/p>\n
