Gospel Parallelisms: Illustrated in the Healing of Body and Soul

PUBLICATIONS in the form of books, tracts, and periodicals, on the general subject of "healing the body of disease, through the prayer of faith," are becoming very numerous. As, however, many persons are earnestly seeking information on the subject, another little book may not be unwelcome. The present writer has no special claim to knowledge upon this deeply interesting theme, beyond many others. In fact, his acquaintance with it is of comparatively recent origin. In the years 1879 and 1880, while sojourning over a twelvemonth in London, he first met persons who claimed bodily healing through the prayer of faith, and those who had successfully prayed for their healing. Some of these persons were of the highest standing for piety and learning. Their testimony could not be rejected. The facts were indisputable. Investigation followed, extending to several countries of Continental Europe. A new study of the Scriptures then began. Here authority was found for placing these healings upon the sure foundation of the promises of God as provided by the Gospel of Christ. He has found daily confirmation of this judgment; and since his return home, in August, 1880, his entire absence extending beyond a year and a half, he has made this general subject one of constant inquiry and research. This little book is among the results of his investigations.
