Israel's Diving Healer is the first complete, systematic treatment
of the biblical motif of God as "Divine Healer." It traces the
theme of the Divine Healer from the Old to the New Testament,
showing the continuity and discontinuity between the Testaments,
particularly in Jesus' miracles that reveal God as the world's
Divine Healer. Israel's Divine Healer begins with a study of
various Hebrew words on healing. It then explores, within the
larger context of the Ancient Near Eastern religions, the roles of
medicine, magic, and the physician-priest together with their
possible influences upon Israel's beliefs and practices regarding
healing. Against this background, the remaining chapters examine,
from the Torah to the Gospels, how Yahweh progressively revealed
himself as Divine Healer to Israel and ultimately, through Jesus,
to the whole of humanity.
