About the book
"As Holiness denominations began to emerge out of Methodism and other denominations, they were characterized by three distinctive teachings: sanctification, divine healing, and dispensational views of the second coming. While books have been published on the sanctification and dispensational teachings. Faith Cure is the first to explore the teachings on divine healing, taking a close look at its practitioners, its cultural milieu, its biblical and theological foundations, its results, and its relevance today. Hardesty focuses on the period from roughly 1870 to 1920, and she observes that Holiness and Pentecostal leaders tended to offer healing as an experience and expectation within the community of faith and did not see themselves in any way as dispensers of healing. Their teaching and practice has persisted in many churches today. In her last chapter Hardesty provides an overview of the present status of spiritual healing and its connection with the broader cultural search for alternative medicines."--BOOK JACKET.
