Abstract

The “Black Death” in the Middle Ages has become an painful memory of European society that cannot be erased. On the basis of inheriting the medical thought of ancient Greece, the Catholic Church extended its unique concept of epidemic prevention with the concept of Christian theology, and urged the Christian Church (Catholicism and Protestantism) to take medical epidemic prevention and improve the level of public health as an important means to spread the Christian gospel to the world after the religious reform. On one hand, it has expanded the influence and affinity of Christianity in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and on the other hand, it has promoted the development of modern medical and health care all over the world. It has also become a major force in building China’s modern medical and health system, and its influence continues to this day.

中世纪以来基督教会卫生防疫发展的理论与实践

中世纪的“黑死病”已经成为欧洲社会无法抹去的痛苦记忆。天主教会在继承古希腊医学思想的基础上，以基督教神学的观念延伸其独特的防疫观念，并在宗教改革后，敦促基督教会(天主教和新教)将医学防疫和提高公共卫生水平作为向世界传播基督教福音的重要手段。一方面，它扩大了基督教在亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲的影响力和亲和力，另一方面，它促进了世界各地现代医疗保健的发展。它也成为建设中国现代医疗卫生体系的一支重要力量，其影响一直延续至今。
