“Religion & Medicine” Interview with Dr. Jeff Levin by Rabbi Richard Address

Author, Dr. Jeff Levin’s Religion and Medicine interview with Jewish Sacred Aging.

I couldn’t recommend Jeff Levin’s book more highly. Within his work is a thorough historical survey of the engagement between both religion and medicine that facilitates an education like no other. This is a capstone work that brings together a culmination of his decades long research on this topic. Within this he gives somewhat of a comparative religions perspective on how various faith groups engage with medicine and healthcare. (As an aside, though I wasn’t looking for it, while I was reading along I was delightfully surprised at his mention of the humanitarian aid and medical missions work I presently oversee, as an example of a healthcare system that is engaging with matters of spirituality and faith). Here is link to an interview he gave back during the pandemic, shortly after Religion and Medicine was published with Rabbi Richard Address of Jewish Sacred Aging. Enjoy!
