Abstract
This chapter considers how scholars from three different contexts footnoted early Christian sermons to advance practical health care in poverty relief efforts at the margins between formal academic scholarship and social action. In the first example, The Rev. Dr. Daniel Price (1578–1631) appeals to nearly 250 source texts and 127 authors in his 1616 Easter Monday “Spital Sermon” on the Gospel story of the anointing woman for a London charity hospital. The second example profiles Margaret Sherwood (1892–1961) and her 1917 translation of a John Chrysostom sermon about the Pauline “collection for the poor” for social workers in Manhattan. The third example explores the context and possible motives behind a Communist-era Romanian translation of Basil of Caesarea’s famine sermon by Fr. Teodor Bodogae (1911–1994). Such accounts continue to shape ethical practices in the use of religious sources about the needy body and to invite modern readers to new innovate cross-disciplinary connections.
