Public health in biblical times

[Dale (evolutionary providentialist)]

I’ve mentioned this a few times elsewhere, a little book by a physician…

@Dale

there’s a distinction between moral, civil, and ceremonial laws (plus dietary and physical), the moral laws being ‘laws of love’, but not exclusively (some of the others could be considered laws of love, for health reasons, for instance). Interestingly, male circumcision is beneficial to both male and female, for both health and pleasure reasons (speaking of relational ; - ). It’s been over half a century since I’ve read it, but this goes into some detail: None of These Diseases (the prohibition of pork, for example, and trichinosis).
