From the back cover:
“Epperly shows us what should be apparent to all from reading the Gospels, that the ministry of healing was central to Jesus. To take up this ministry is to be true to him. Epperly shows in surprising detail how much we can learn about healing from reading the biblical stories with greater care.”
- from the Foreword by John B. Cobb
The mounting evidence of interconnectedness of spirituality, health, and medicine suggests giving new attention to the healing ministry of Jesus. Through a fresh reading of the Gospel narratives, Bruce Epperly reveals the centrality of whole-person healing within Jesus’ mission as teacher and social reformer, and stresses that churches should seek to recover a healing ministry that touches both the spirit and the body. God’s Touch traces the links between Jesus’ approach to wholeness of mind, body, spirit, and relationships, and the practices of complementary and alternative medicine today.
