- What is healing?
- What does the Holy Spirit, kingdom of heaven, faith, forgiveness, love, and prayer have to do with healing?
This is a chronological chart of healings found in the New Testament. Some scholars divide healings into types or groups: exorcisms, physical healings, resurrections, environment, economy, accidents, and relationships. How would you classify each healing?
As you study the context of each healing, please note the "who, what, when, where, why, and how" of each event.
