Healing and Christianity: A Classic Study
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Morton Kelsey’s classic study on the history of healing in the Christian church is coming to Logos! Kelsey looks at the biblical text and how the teaching of Jesus builds on the Old Testament understanding of religious healing. He then looks at the healing ministry of Jesus, Paul, and the rest of the New Testament, alongside the history of Christian healing through the life of the Christian church. This resource is an excellent guide for pastors, historians, and counselors interested in the history of Christian healing.
