  • David Keck, Duke Divinity School
Abstract
"Leprosy" is a horrifying disease, and afforded special attention in the Bible. For this reason, Keck shows, Christians (by which he means Catholics and Protestants) have responded to the disease, sometimes with abhorrence, and at other times with remarkable compassion.
