PENT 0736 - Healing in the New Testament

Cross-listed as NEWT 0736.

After a brief survey of the Old Testament, this course explores the theme of healing in the New Testament. By means of narrative analysis, the role of healing miracles in each of the Gospels and Acts is examined in order to assess their theological significance. References to healing in other New Testament documents are also examined. A sizable portion of the course is devoted to a study of the origins of illness in the New Testament. The final component of the course seeks to integrate the various New Testament theologies of healing with contemporary Pentecostal theology and practice.
