The Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation, in collaboration with Loyola Andalucía University, is organising the round table discussion 'Religion and health in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim traditions', to be held in the Assembly Hall of Loyola Andalucía University, Seville Campus.
Since ancient times, religious traditions have played a fundamental role in people's health care and well-being. Spirituality not only offers comfort in times of illness, but also influences self-care practices, community support and values essential for healthy living. This panel will explore how monotheistic traditions have addressed the relationship between faith and health, highlighting their historical contributions and their relevance today.
The aim of this meeting is to offer a comprehensive view of the intersection between religion and health, exploring themes such as preventive medicine, mental wellbeing and the spiritual dimension of care, understanding the contributions of these traditions to the development of medicine, bioethics and public health practices.
