Avalos helpfully turns our attention to the care of bodies as fundamental to the growth and expansion of early Christianity. Response to basic issues such as cost, access to care, and perceived efficacy--helped to fashion an early Christian system of health care that was distinct fromc ontemporary approaches. Avalos raises eminently relevant questions about the role of ideas and practices of health care in the attractiveness of new religious movments, both historically and today.
