This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had always believed in the healing power of our Lord, and viewed my life as one of service to Him via the practice of medicine. But, in retrospect, I had a deeper trust in the power of modern medicine and science than I did in Jesus Christ and His fully accomplished work on the Cross. My thinking was flawed, but, as I grew in my walk with the Lord and meditated on Scripture more fully, I began to see the superiority of faith over the limited interventions modern medical science had to offer, and that this interplay between faith and science was not mutually exclusive, but complimentary, for the spiritual aspects of our lives illuminate and empower the carnal aspects of intellect and physical senses. I began jotting notes to myself related to this interplay of faith and healing and science, and just filed them away...for years. IThen, in December of 2017, a baby was born to a first time mother of mine, his little body riddled with the most fulminant form of acute lymphoblasic leukemia, almost always fatal. His absolutely miraculous healing was the impetus to start putting these thoughts into writing, in the form of weekday morning emails entitled “A Christian Doctor’s View of Healing, Faiith, and Science”. It was soon made clear to me that these writings were to take the form of a year long devotional book, comprised of short weekday messages that are intimately linked, such that they can be read through as a book. And that book was to paint a picture, and that picture was to be of a face, and the face was to be that of Jesus, for He is the source of all healing
Download or read book Faith in the Great Physician written by Heather D. Curtis and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of evangelical faith healing in nineteenth-century America examines the nation’s shifting attitudes about sickness, suffering, and health. Faith in the Great Physician tells the story of how participants in the divine healing movement transformed the ways Americans coped with physical affliction and pursued bodily wellbeing. Heather D. Curtis offers critical reflection on the theological, cultural, and social forces that come into play when one questions the purpose of suffering and the possibility of healing. Belief in divine healing ran counter to a deep-seated Christian ethic that linked physical suffering with spiritual holiness. By engaging in devotional disciplines and participating in social reform efforts, proponents of faith cure embraced a model of spiritual experience that endorsed active service, rather than passive endurance, as the proper Christian response to illness and pain. Emphasizing the centrality of religious practices to the enterprise of divine healing, Curtis sheds light on the relationship among Christian faith, medical science, and the changing meanings of suffering and healing in American culture.

Book excerpt: Recipient of the Frank S. and Elizabeth D. Brewer Prize of the American Society of Church History for 2007Faith in the Great Physician tells the story of how participants in the evangelical divine healing movement of the late nineteenth century transformed the ways Americans coped with physical affliction and pursued bodily health. Examining the politics of sickness, health, and healing during this period, Heather D. Curtis encourages critical reflection on the theological, cultural, and social forces that come into play when one questions the purpose of suffering and the possibility of healing.Curtis finds that advocates of divine healing worked to revise a deep-seated Christian ethic that linked physical suffering with spiritual holiness. By engaging in devotional disciplines and participating in social reform efforts, proponents of faith cure embraced a model of spiritual experience that endorsed active service, rather than passive endurance, as the proper Christian response to illness and pain. Emphasizing the centrality of religious practices to the enterprise of divine healing, Curtis sheds light on the relationship among Christian faith, medical science, and the changing meanings of suffering and healing in American culture.
Download or read book Physician Heal Thyself written by John Marco Allegro and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people believe faith healing to be the orphan child of mainline Christianity, adopted by bible-thumping fundamentalists and the electronic evangelists, practiced under tents and at religious road shows. In John Allegro's book, he explores the history of faith healing, finding literary richness and religious antecedants that are generally unknown to most readers. Faith healing has a long history in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Its practice was first ascribed to the Jewish Essenes, or Physicians, who believed that through powers granted them by their God they could lead men from the shadow of death to new life, both physical and spiritual. From the Essenes, faith healing took root in the emergent Christian religion, where it is found today, practiced by members of its more fundamental and evangelical sects. It is interesting to note that the split between "high" and "low" church practice also signalled the beginning of faith healing's exile from mainline church practice. However, it was very much a part of church practice during the early inception of Christianity. The Dead Sea Scrolls are the main source of this information. They illustrate the primary importance of faith healing to the early church. Today, despite dramatic advances in medical and scientific knowledge, to a significant group of people faith healing is of more interest than ever before. Faith healing seems to be twentieth century man's response to the increasing complexity of the modern world. Through exotic and often dramatic ritual, modern faith healers seek to confer to their followers the serenity the earliest faith healers sought. Physician, Heal Thyself is not an attack on the many forms faith healing has assumed today. The author stresses that no part of his study seeks to confirm or cast doubt on either the religious validity or the therapeutic efficacy of modern faith healing. Tracing the evolution of faith healing from its earliest appearances in religious literature and practice to the colorful and sometimes bizarre forms it has assumed today, John Allegro has produced an incisive work of interest to religious scholars and to students of religion.

Download or read book Q A On Divine Healing written by Callie Tayler and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In presenting this book we are indebted to the resourceful writings of many of The Voice of Healing evangelists who moved powerfully in the Gifts of Healing, Working of Miracles and the Gift of Faith.The Voice of Healing Movement, (also known as the Healing Revival or the Great Awakenings - of which there were five) was a famous movement from the mid 1940's to late 1950's. It stretched from North America to impact nations all over the globe. The aftermath of the Healing Revival is said to have impacted over 550 million people worldwide.Gordon Lindsay rose up to chronicle God's works during the revival, by publishing the Voice of Healing magazine. In over a hundred of these magazines a column was given for the public to ask questions on healing. The evangelist of the day would answer them. This alone is a valuable resource for many. By reading this book, "Question & Answers on Divine Healing", you get the core of what took men and woman in the great Healing Revival many years of hard work to learn and document.Not every answer about Divine Healing is given. I do not give my personal opinion on the subject but simply give what could help many.I urge every Christian, five-fold gift and elder to obtain a copy of this masterpiece in faith building material and read it repeatedly.Many believe that God sometimes heals the sick, but they have no personal knowledge of Jesus as their indwelling healer. They know nothing about the many facts which prove that physical health is part of salvation.They see others healed, but they question whether healing is God's will for them. They are waiting for a special revelation of the will of God concerning their case, like the man at the pool of Bethesda. In the meantime they are doing all within the power of human skill to get well with the use of natural means, whether they know it is God's will for them to be healed or not.The questions asked are what many have asked over the centuries and the appropriate answers given by men and women with vast experience. There may be a question that you are asking and hopefully dear reader you will find the answer to. One thing is true and that His mercy or His compassion is always toward you.The Bible reveals the will of God in regard to the healing of the body as clearly as it reveals the will of God in regard to regeneration of the spirit. The two are ever together.All scripture is given in the New American Standard Bible NASB unless indicated. Key to abbreviations are given at the back of this book

Download or read book Jesus Christ M D The Awesome Power of Blending Medicine and Religion for Healing written by Jerry Old MD and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do ancient religious practices help in healing today? Is prayer of benefit? If so, what kind of prayers? What about "laying on of hands" or "casting out demons?" Over three-fourths of patients entering a hospital wish that their health-care providers would consider their spiritual needs as part of their medical care. Yet, most patients-along with their health-care professionals-struggle to understand how to use this spiritual side in healing. Modern healthcare is based upon science and often sees religion as getting in the way of healing. However, when humans combine our religious and spiritual nature with the science of modern medicine, we have the most powerful tool for healing the world has ever known. This book dares to explore this very personal aspect of human life that has had very little written about it-the private spiritual beliefs that people share with their doctors, spiritual advisors, and families when they are ill, injured, or frightened about their health. Here are the true stories of how people have used their spiritual side for healing. Many will mystify and give us chills!
Download or read book The Great Physician written by Vinton Dearing and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE GREAT PHYSICIAN is a biography of Jesus of Nazareth. It includes both an original translation of the Gospel texts and extensive commentary based on 40 years of scholarship and over 80 years of life experience with spiritual healing. Because of printing constraints, it is printed in two volumes which are intended to be read together. Volume 1 includes the narrative; Volume 2 includes footnotes and indexes. Since Volume 1 is written in chronological order rather than by Gospel, most readers will require the Index of Translations in Volume 2 to find specific Gospel chapters and verses. Students of the Bible and anyone interested in spiritual healing will especially appreciate the well annotated and comprehensive background information about social and religious thought during Christ Jesus' time as well as modern day examples of spiritual healing based on Christ Jesus' teachings. As a scholar and with great respect for those who hold to different religious traditions, Professor Dearing strove for accuracy and clarity in representing opposing viewpoints. He endeavored to write a book that is both unbiased and ecumenical so that readers can make their own judgments.
Download or read book Healing the Whole Man written by William Standish Reed and published by Fleming H. Revell Company. This book was released on 1979 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Heal Thyself argues that our popular culture's fascination with the health benefits of religion reflects not the renaissance of the world's great religious traditions but the powerful combination of pervasive consumer capitalism and a deeply self-interested individualism. A faith-for-health exchange, say the authors, serves to misrepresent and devalue the true meaning of faith. Such a utilitarian approach renders the content of faith superfluous, allowing a generic, highly personalized description of faith to take the place of a specific, confessional commitment to what one believes and does as a member of a community of faith." "From the Christian viewpoint, the religion and health movement is dangerously deficient. Christians do not believe in the self-revelation of God in Jesus Christ in order to be healthy. For Christians, learning to be religious does not mean enlisting faith as a vehicle to get what we want, but rather learning by faith to want the right things at the right time and to live with a spirit of gratitude and hope."--Jacket.
