Usage: The term "iatros" refers to a physician or doctor, someone who is skilled in the art of healing physical ailments. In the New Testament, it is used both literally, to describe those who practice medicine, and metaphorically, to describe Jesus as the Great Physician who heals both physical and spiritual maladies. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, physicians were respected professionals who practiced medicine based on the knowledge available at the time. They were often associated with healing temples and used a combination of herbal remedies, surgical procedures, and spiritual rituals.
