This monograph presents the most comprehensive investigation yet made into the healing activity of the Early Church In contrast to early skeptics like B B Warfield the author is convinced there was a vigorous healing ministry in the centuries that followed the apostles though it fluctuated somewhat and changed its mode Exorcism is prominently attested throughout the period The preNicene Fathers recognized its great apologetic value as a dramatic demonstration of the superiority of Jesus Christ over pagan gods Interest in healing miracles per se appears to have been particularly characteristic of the less educated members of the Church and those who were chaste in their devotion to the cause of Christ Amongst these groups gifts of healing were found becoming rare it seems by the midthird century but well attested again later in monastic circles In the preNicene period anointing with oil in the name of Christ was clearly an avenue of healing and though mentioned comparatively rarely may have been widespread as part of the regular ministry of local clergy to the sick Baptismal healing physical as well as spiritual also took place In the postNicene Church the shrines of the martyrs became a prominent locus of healing Devotion to this cult may have been encouraged by Church Fathers as an acceptable alternative to magical practices But evidence suggests syncretism did occur and martyrs relics could be invested with quasimagical awe Most Fathers were positive about the medical profession seeing it as an avenue of Gods work and in the late fourth century one pioneered the hospital which then spread throughout the eastern Mediterranean In an appendix to his work the author sets down nine pointers from the healing activity of the Early Church and his own experience to assist those engaged in the healing ministry today

Drawing on two years of ethnographic field research among the Navajos this book explores a controversial Native American ritual and healthcare practice ceremonial consumption of the psychedelic Peyote cactus in the context of an indigenous postcolonial healing movement called the Native American Church NAC The NAC arose in the nineteenth century in response to the creation of the reservation system and increasing societal ills including alcoholism The movement is the locus of a cultural conflict with a long history in North America and stirs very strong and often opposed emotions and moral interpretations Joseph D Calabrese describes the Peyote Ceremony as it is used in family contexts and federally funded clinical programs for Native American patients He uses an interdisciplinary methodology that he calls clinical ethnography an approach to research that involves clinically informed and selfreflective immersion in local worlds of suffering healing and normality Calabrese combined immersive fieldwork among NAC members in their communities with a year of clinical work at a Navajorun treatment program for adolescents with severe substance abuse and associated mental health problems There he had the unique opportunity to provide conventional therapeutic intervention alongside Native American therapists who were treating the very problems that the NAC addresses through ritual Calabrese argues that if people respond better to clinical interventions that are relevant to their societys unique cultural adaptations and ideologies as seems to be the case with the NAC then preventing ethnic minorities from accessing traditional ritual forms of healing may actually constitute a human rights violation

The Bible is very clear about the way we are to treat a fellow Christian who has sinned especially if that person is a leader in the church Yet we so often fail to respond biblically to a fallen brother or sister Sometimes we ignore the sin Or we go to the other extreme and kick the sinner out of the church We allow him to quietly disappear never to face and overcome his wrong Or we allow him to stay in the body yet fail to truly forgive him or restore him to a place of effectiveness for his Lord This story of one congregations response to a member of its staff who had sinned is a triumph of love and restoration Pastor Don Bakers search for the Bibles answers to each step of the church discipline process offers wisdom to all who seek hope for despair renewal for brokenness beauty for ashes

What does healing mean for people with disabilities The Gospels are filled with accounts of Jesus offering physical healing But even as churches today seek to follow the way of Jesus people with disabilities all too often experience the very opposite of healing and lifegiving community exclusion judgment barriers Misinterpretation and misapplication of biblical healing narratives can do great damage yet those who take the Bible seriously mustnt avoid these passages either Bethany McKinney Fox believes that Christian communities are better off when people with disabilities are an integral part of our common life In Disability and the Way of Jesus she considers how the stories of Jesus healings can guide us toward mutual thriving How did Jesus original audience understand his works of healing and how should we relate to these texts today After examining the healing narratives in their biblical and cultural contexts Fox considers perspectives from medical doctors disability scholars and pastors to more fully understand what Jesus does as he heals and how he points the way for relationships with people with disabilities Personal reflections from Christians with disabilities are featured throughout the book which concludes with suggestions for concrete practices adaptable to a variety of church settings Bridging biblical studies ethics and disability studies with the work of practitioners Fox provides a unique resource that is both theologically grounded and winsomely practical Disability and the Way of Jesus provides new lenses on holistic healing for scholars laypeople and ministry leaders who care about welcoming all people as Jesus would
