Michael Brown: Israel’s Divine Healer
Brown closes his study of the progression of God as Healer from the Old to the New Testament saying that God now does for His people what He has always wanted to, allowing a foretaste of the world to come. His conclusion chapter alone is worth the price of the book, all the more so because of the exegetical foundation he lays to draw his conclusions.
This book is more technical than most Pentecostal/charismatic pastors are accustomed to. While all Hebrew, Greek and Semitic words have been transliterated, the “select” bibliography spans 18 pages and the endnotes are a lengthy 172 pages. However, anyone interested in divine healing, its implications for ministry today, and its basis in God’s Word cannot afford to miss this definitive work.
