REL 399 - By the Finger of God: The History and Practice of Healing and Deliverance

The course will not be meeting on campus, but the synchronous times/days of this course will continue. Please contact Shelly Sylvester for further information ssylvester@ambrose.edu

An examination of the biblical, historical, and theological foundations of healing and deliverance as a component of Christian spirituality. The course surveys biblical accounts and early Christian history in which God acts to heal and deliver his people—most fully expressed in Jesus’ inauguration of the kingdom of God, with its marks of physical healing and release from demonic oppression. It analyzes ways in which segments of the church have continued these practices in a variety of modalities, and explores the personalization and practice of healing and deliverance.
