Healing Through the Centuries: Models for Understanding
Ronald Kydd

Hendrickson Publishers, 1998

Miraculous healing is a topic that always stirs keen interest. Some people claim to have experienced it and others would like to. Some believe that it results from divine intervention; others contend it always has a psychological explanation or is merely fraudulent. Any serious investigation must take into account the diverse accounts of healing found in diverse branches of the Christian ...

Healing in the History of Christianity
Amanda Porterfield

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Healing is one of the most constant themes in the long and sprawling history of Christianity. Jesus himself performed many miracles of healing. In the second century, St. Ignatius was the first to describe the eucharist as the medicine of immortality. Prudentius, a 4th-century poet and Christian apologist, celebrated the healing power of St. Cyprian's tongue. Bokenham, in his 15th-century ...

Quenching the Spirit: Discover the Real Spirit Behind the Charismatic Controversy13 reviews
William L. De Arteaga

Charisma House, 1996

a defining work

+ A must-read for anyone who thinks the heresy-hunters are biblical!
+ Wonderful text

I held off getting this book because it was my (false) impression that the defense of the charismatic position had no biblical backing. I also trusted that Hanegraaff and MacArthur's caricatures of charismatics were the norm. It had not yet occurred to me that the case for biblical charismata has ...

After a friend lent me his copy of this book, I tossed it aside, eventually getting around to reading it. I now regret that I didn't do ...
