Produktinformationen zu „Faith in the Great Physician (ePub)“
This history of evangelical faith healing in nineteenth-century America examines the nation's shifting attitudes about sickness, suffering, and health.
Faith in the Great Physiciantells the story of how participants in the divine healing movement transformed the ways Americans coped with physical affliction and pursued bodily wellbeing. Heather D. Curtis offers critical reflection on the theological, cultural, and social forces that come into play when one questions the purpose of suffering and the possibility of healing.
Belief in divine healing ran counter to a deep-seated Christian ethic that linked physical suffering with spiritual holiness. By engaging in devotional disciplines and participating in social reform efforts, proponents of faith cure embraced a model of spiritual experience that endorsed active service, rather than passive endurance, as the proper Christian response to illness and pain.
Emphasizing the centrality of religious practices to the enterprise of divine healing, Curtis sheds light on the relationship among Christian faith, medical science, and the changing meanings of suffering and healing in American culture.
Recipient of the Frank S. and Elizabeth D. Brewer Prize of the American Society of Church History for 2007
