The CEB Bible Map Guide shows where the events of the Bible
happened. It includes the 21 CEB maps (produced by National
Geographic) in a beautiful full-color oversize format. A brief
narrative that describes what is being shown and what chapters and
verses of the Bible are being illustrated accompanies each map.
Sidebars, photographs, and timelines bring out interesting facts
about the lands of the Bible, featured in maps of Palestine, Egypt,
Canaan, Babylonia, the Persian empire, the Hellenistic kingdoms in
Daniel, the Roman Empire, Jerusalem, and Paul's journeys. An
exhaustive index makes it easy to locate the places mentioned in
the Bible.
Who Healeth All Thy Diseases is a history of divine healing and
19th-century health reform in the Church of God, one of the
earliest and most influential pre-Pentecostal radical holiness
movements. The Church of God taught that Wesleyan entire
sanctification was creating a visible unity of saints that restored
the New Testament church of the apostles. As the movement grew and
experimented with the implications of visible sainthood, physical
healing-miraculous divine healing and the physical perfectionism of
health reform-became integral to the life and theology of the
Church of God, shaping everything from proof of membership and
evidence of ministerial authority to childrearing practices and
acceptable clothing styles. Physical healing manifested and
embodied the movement's claim that God was healing the universal
church (the Body of Christ) by cleansing individuals from the
corruption of inbred sin. By 1902, the prevailing opinion in the
Church said that divine healing was an essential aspect of the
gospel, use of medicine was sinful, and every minister had to
exhibit the gifts of healing. In the early 20th century, the
Church's theology and practices of healing became increasingly
problematic. Tragic failures of divine healing, epidemics, medical
advances, court trials, mandatory inoculations of schoolchildren,
and general opprobrium combined to prevent a simplistic equation of
the Church of God and the church of the apostles. By 1925, the
Church had reversed its radical, anti-medicine doctrines. Church
members continued to affirm that Jesus answered prayers for
healing, but they no longer claimed to know exactly how he would
answer prayers. With that loss of certainty, healing lost its power
to serve as evidence of holiness and its central place in the
history of the Church of God.
