Faith in the Great Physician: Suffering and Divine Healing in American Culture
This Book examines the divine healing movement within the context of 19th-century American Protestantism, exploring its emergence, devotional practices, and gendered dynamics. It highlights the movement's challenge to traditional notions of suffering and its impact on concepts of health, masculinity, and femininity. The work further investigates the social reform efforts intertwined with divine healing, such as temperance and missions. The text looks at the tensions within the movement and criticisms it faced, especially concerning its relationship with other healing practices. It also considers the eventual decline of divine healing's prominence, and its impact on American perceptions of illness, the body, and suffering, and looks at the role of women, missionaries, and the poor.
