Special thanks, To Jennifer, my wife. Thank you for your love, tolerance, patience and encouragement. To Trinity Bible College and Theological Seminary. Your requirements in training Christians to think is exemplary. To my daughter, Jasmine van den Hoek for taking so much time to discuss the much needed editing and formatting in preparing this material. A note to the reader: You may find that what you have expected to read including many of the ‘usual’ texts on healing used by many modern authors are absent from this work. This is done purposefully. This work is different in that it examines modern medical research as a tool by which to gauge Christian healing claims. That is to both validate and to refute them. Modern research is beginning to show evidence that religion and or spirituality has some health benefits. This is surprising from the point of view that medicine has distanced itself from religion in favor of scientific evidence and practice. Research cannot replace theology but it can perhaps validate theology in terms of healing. Theological ideas or interpretations may be bent to suit a listener’s ears and yet prove to be incorrect. This work is not an attempt to amplify or validate a Christian theology of healing but rather to hold it accountable in order to prevent the pain, despair and disappointments, often associated with enthusiastic claims of healing. This is not something to be afraid of but rather embrace. Jesus Himself instructed validation of healing. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” i 2
