This book presents in readable, nontechnical language the findings of the latest biblical scholarship on one important aspect of "who Jesus was"--Jesus as healer. It guides readers through the New Testament's portraits of Jesus, setting the stage for these portraits by looking at sickness and its treatment in Jesus' day. The author concludes with a carefully weighed answer to the question "did Jesus really heal?", and offers topics for discussion and suggestions for further reading that allow the interested reader to explore the subject in more detail. "Harols Remus (Wilifrid Laurier University) has written a very fine little book for Christian laity studying Scripture in an adult Sunday-school setting. ...those charged with leading discussion groups about the New Testament will find it very useful." Stevan Davies, Studies in Religion "This would make an excellent textbook on the undergraduate or divinity school level...also...accessible to the general public, and the study questions at the end would work well adult study groups."
