About PRAYER, MEDICINE & HEALING: Why Ministers, Medical
PRAYER, MEDICINE, AND HEALING is an invitation to pray for the sick based on evidence from the Bible, Church History, and the origins of the Modern Hospital. Tracing the history of healing from the Hebrew Bible and reviewing the healing ministry of Jesus and His disciples, Thomson K. Mathew examines church history (Church fathers, Reformers, Holiness leaders, Pentecostals, and Charismatics Oral Roberts and Paul Yonggi Cho) and the history of hospitals to affirm both medicine and prayer. He addresses skeptics, acknowledges fake healers, and presents strong evidence for all followers of Jesus to pray for the sick and expect healing. This inspiring book is for those who administer healing and the ones who seek healing and wholeness. SAMPLES OF ENDORSEMENTS BY THEOLOGIANS AND PHYSICIANS “Human need for and experience of healing reach back to the earliest dawn of creation and will remain as long as mankind exists on the earth. Healing—natural and supernatural—is rooted in God, who said, ‘I am the Lord who heals you.’ (Exod 15:26). Jesus was a healer, and He commissioned all His followers to heal the sick. “In Prayer, Medicine, and Healing, Thomson Mathew gives compelling biblical, historical, existential, and personal evidence for the credibility of healing. A rich blend of scholarly rigor, theological fidelity, and pastoral sensitivity, the book presents a balanced view of various models of healing and personalities in the healing movement. Mathew irreversibly believes that ‘God responds to the prayer of faith for healing and wholeness offered in the name of Jesus.’ Everyone should, therefore, pray for the sick with an expectant faith. “As the title of the book betrays, Mathew believes God uses prayer and medicine to heal. Neither method should be rejected. While emphasizing the importance of faith for healing, he cautions that faith does not guarantee a positive outcome. God’s sovereignty is an essential part of a biblical theology of healing. Mathew hopes that ‘all followers of Jesus . . . will see . . . their responsibility to pray for the sick by faith.’” —Trevor Grizzle, PhD, professor of New Testament, Graduate School of Theology and Ministry, Oral Roberts University “The lack of an accurate biblical understanding of health and healing is, unfortunately, commonplace in the body of Christ today. Even among followers of Jesus who work in health care, this is true. My friend Dr. Thomson Mathew has studied and researched and investigated very thoroughly this important area, and in this book provides a thoughtful and comprehensive treatise for us all. Rather than basing his conclusions on his personal experience or intellectual musings, he has looked deeply into the Scriptures (both Old and New Testaments), the life of Jesus Christ, the early church, and faithful men and women who were followers of Jesus to provide an outstanding resource for those of us who desire to know the truth. “As a physician, I want to follow in the steps of Jesus. It is recorded that ‘He went around doing good and healing all that were afflicted by the devil, because God was with Him!’ (Acts 10:38, paraphrased). I remind my patients regularly that I cannot heal them, but Jesus can! This book will encourage us to pray in faith for the sick, to care deeply and compassionately for those who are suffering, and to demonstrate the love of God to those in desperate need.” —Mitch Duininck, MD, FAAFP, president and CEO, In His Image (IHI), IHI International, and Good Samaritan Health Services, Tulsa, Oklahoma; director, IHI Family Medicine Residency Program; and president, Oklahoma Academy of Family Physicians
