    Abstract
    Trained in an era when spirituality and religion did not have a role in caring for the ill, many physicians today do not address the spiritual components of healing when addressing their patients. It has been shown that many patients desire to discuss religious and spiritual issues with their doctor, and taking the time to talk about religion or the spirit promotes confidence in the physician by the patient. Many patients want to understand their disease in the framework of their religion, and empirical medicine alone simply is not equipped to handle the kinds of questions that this brings up. The dichotomy that exists today between religion and medicine was not always present. People who sought healing wanted a cure for both the body and the soul, and healers of the past were religiously affiliated. In a country where 72% of the population identifies itself as Christian, it is beneficial for physicians who intend to practice in the U.S. to learn about the roots of medicine and Christianity. To better understand the history of medicine and Christianity is to build a foundation for understanding the perspective of many patients in America today. [Introduction]
