Abstract

In their attempts to exemplify the healing brought about by Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) and the Church of Christ, Scientist, all demonstrate the potential of a healing ministry in modern times. Beginning with the healing done by Jesus in the Gospels, from "its inception, Christianity has included the notion of healing through divine intervention." The principle of divine healing has since become integrated with Christian belief on the traditional, doctrinal, communal, and personal levels.
