Changes in healing beliefs and practices offer a window into changes in religious authority, church structure, and ideas about sanctity, history, resurrection, and the kingdom of God. Porterfield chronicles these changes, at the same time shedding important new light on the universality of religious healing. Finally, she looks at recent scientific findings about religion's biological effects, and considers the relation of these findings to ages-old traditions about belief and healing. 606 $aSpiritual healing 606 $aHealing$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aMiracles 606 $aHealing in the Bible 615 0$aSpiritual healing. 615 0$aHealing$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aMiracles. 615 0$aHealing in the Bible. 676 $a234/.131 700 $aPorterfield$b Amanda$f1947-$0916495 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807933503321 996 $aHealing in the history of Christianity$93978395 997 $aUNINA
