Religious Rheumatism is a book written by Joseph Baer Baker and was first published in 1916. The book explores the concept of religious fervor and its effect on the human body. Baker argues that just as rheumatism affects the joints and muscles, religious fervor can affect the mind and body, causing physical and emotional pain. The book discusses various aspects of religious fervor, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment. Baker draws on his experience as a physician to provide a medical perspective on the subject. He also draws on his knowledge of religion and spirituality to provide a spiritual perspective. Baker argues that religious fervor can be both positive and negative. On the one hand, it can inspire people to do great things and achieve great feats. On the other hand, it can also lead to fanaticism, intolerance, and even violence. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of religious fervor. Some of the topics covered include the history of religious fervor, the role of religion in society, the psychology of religious fervor, and the relationship between religion and health. Overall, Religious Rheumatism is a thought-provoking book that explores the complex relationship between religion and the human body. It offers insights into the nature of religious fervor and its effects on individuals and society as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
