Fellowship Presentation: A History of Medicine, Christianity and Sorcery

Описание к видео Fellowship Presentation: A History of Medicine, Christianity and Sorcery

What is the relationship between Christianity, ‘sorcery’ and Western medicine in the South Pacific?

Join us as Dr Daniel Midena examines the historical encounter between modern medicine and ‘sorcery’, with assistance from the biography of Edwin Tscharke (1918-2000), a medical missionary in New Guinea in the late twentieth century. Tscharke was one of the most influential medical missionaries in the Pacific since 1945, devoting considerable energy to thinking and writing about how to disabuse locals of their belief in ‘sorcery’.

Dr Daniel Midena is a 2019 National Library of Australia Fellow, generously supported by the Stokes Family.
