Public health films of the 1930s and 1940s enlisted Christian authority to encourage Americans to seek treatment for tuberculosis and syphilis.
Faith was presented as an ally of medicine rather than a substitute for it. Yet the same films often moralized disease and assumed Christianity could supply a shared national language for health.
