This study investigates the procedural techniques, significance,
and the tangible effects of the laying on of hands in the New
Testament. The author investigates the background of the New
Testament practice by conducting investigation in the Old Testament
and contemporary Judaism and the Graeco-Roman and Near-Eastern
literature. The main chapters are exegetical, each discussing a
particular use of the laying on of hands in the New Testament: for
blessing, healing, reception of the Spirit and ordination. A
special attention is given to the inner process of transfer of
power through physical contact. It is the author's conclusion that
in the New Testament the gesture always signifies transfer of some
positive materia: blessing, 'life-force', the Spirit and
charismata. In the final section, an attempt is made to gauge the
possibility of any uniformity in the significance of the various
New Testament uses of the laying on of hands.
