Patrick speaks with Professor Helen Rhee of Westmont College about her new book which explores how early Christians thought about health and sickness and also the cultural influences on their understandings. Topics of conversation include retributive sickness, Galen's influence on Christianity and Helen's own extraordinary encounter with the miraculous.
