In the Western Christian tradition, however, Jesus' works of healing tend to be downplayed and understood as little more than a demonstration of his divine power. In this book Jan-Olav Henriksen and Karl Olav Sandnes draw on both contemporary systematic theology and New Testament scholarship to challenge and investigate the reasons for that oversight. They constructively consider what it can mean for Christian theology today to understand Jesus as a healer, to embrace fully the embodied character of the Christian faith, and to recognize the many ways in which God can still be seen to have a healing presence in the world.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Jan-Olav Henriksen, Karl Olav Sandnes</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Criticism -- Gospels</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Healing in the Bible</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Jesus Christ -- Miracles</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.066</classification> <classification authority="ddc">H518-J33</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802873316</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14780/j.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14780/j.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071414.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
