Abstract

117 A CRITICAL REVIEW OF HEALING THROUGH THE CENTURIES: MODELS FOR UNDERSTANDING BY RONALD A.N. KYDD † Kimberly Ervin Alexander* Church of God Theological Seminary, Cleveland, TN 37329, USA * Kimberly Alexander (PhD candidate, St John’s College, Nottingham/Open University) is Instructor in Historical Theology, Church of God Theological Semi- nary, Cleveland, TN, USA. A belief in divine healing and prayer for the sick has been a part of the Pentecostal ethos from the beginnings of the movement. Early publi- cations are replete with accounts of healing miracles and written exhor- tations concerning the doctrine and practice. As Dayton argues, ’Per- haps even more characteristic of Pentecostalism than the doctrine of the baptism of the Spirit is its celebration of miracles of divine healing as part of God’s salvation and as evidence of the presence of divine power in the church’ .1 The recovery of the sick was a sign that would follow believers, and praying for the sick, laying hands on the sick and anoint- ing the sick with oil were seen as commands of Scripture. Although means and practices may have come under scrutiny, divine healing as a reality and possibility has rarely been disputed among Pentecostals.
