Healing in the Book of Acts

In this post, I review all the references to healing in the Book of Acts (or “Acts of the Apostles”), which is the fifth book of the New Testament right after the four gospels. The author does not name himself, but extra-biblical sources attribute this book to Luke, author of the third gospel and the only non-Jewish New Testament author. See everything Acts says about healing. Read more about Healing in the Book of Acts

Healing in the book of John

Healing in the book of John

Here I analyze all the references to healing in the book of John. It is the last of the four canonical gospels, written by John the Apostle (or Saint John the Beloved) who was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. He is generally known as the youngest apostle and was the brother of James, who was another of the Twelve. See everything he recorded about healing. Read more about Healing in the book of John

Healing in the books of Moses

Jewish and Christian traditional belief is that the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament), were written by Moses on God’s direction. These five books are also called the Pentateuch, which simply means “five books.” Many biblical scholars believe that these five books of the Bible came to completion during the Babylonian captivity of the kingdom of Judah (c. 6th century BC). See what these Old Testament books say about healing. Read more about Healing in the books of Moses
