This 1997 book presents in readable, non-technical language the
findings of scholarship on one important aspect of 'who Jesus was'
- the many reports in the New Testament and other early Christian
writings that Jesus performed healings. The book paints a picture
of the sick and sickness in Jesus' world and the means available to
deal with sickness. It shows how Jesus as healer fits - and doesn't
fit - into that world. We see him as one of the many healers of his
day, but set apart as a 'wounded healer' who in his own death
achieves the ultimate 'healing', victory over death. In addressing
the question 'did Jesus really heal?' the author provides readers
with resources from biblical scholarship, medicine, sociology and
anthropology to help arrive at their own answers to the question.
The suggestions for further reading as well as the questions for
discussion make this book ideal both for personal reading and for
group study.
