John Wesley's Primitive Physic (1747) achieved twenty-three editions in his lifetime, ensuring its popular - and controversial - status in eighteenth-century medicine. This is the first full-length study to examine the theological, intellectual and cultural background to one of the period's most successful medical texts. By exploring Wesley's work in the context of his theology, 'A Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine' extends the on-going reconfiguration of the relationship between religion and medicine.
