Numbers, Ronald L. and Amundsen, Darrel W. Eds. (1986) Caring and curing: Health and medicine in the western religious traditions. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press.
This book includes historical information on the Jewish Tradition, the Early Christian Tradition, the Reformed Tradition and the Wesleyan-Methodist Tradition for use in my workshop. This book also includes historical background for many other Christian denominations. This is fascinating historical material that gives historical precedent to the use of healing services, anointing and laying-on-of-hands.
