Biblical Foundations for the Role of Healing in Evangelization

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"In a world enchanted with self-made religion, how should the church evangelize? As they did in the early church: by signs to confirm the word. After reviewing the abundant New Testament evidence regarding the strong relationship between preaching and healing, Thelen explores the audience to which the Word is addressed today. Since those touched by growing atheism and the cult of self are more open to tangible events like testimonies of healing than mere proclaimed truths, Thelen challenges preachers and evangelists to pray for signs, especially healings, when they proclaim the Word. Such an approach is not only deeply rooted in Scripture, but is also good advice.”

“Dr. Ervin's contribution not only as a scholar but as a speaker, teacher, and interpreter in the charismatic renewal has been highly esteemed and gratefully received by Catholics. I look forward to the appearance of this promising volume of essays written in his honor on the occasion of his 65th birthday. The editor has assembled an impressive array of scholars and I join these contributors to his anniversary volume in expressing my appreciation for his ministry.”
