Curator's Note:

MacNutt treats the history of healing prayer like a cold case, investigating why a practice once central to the early Church largely vanished from mainstream Western liturgy. He examines the theological and institutional shifts that led to this decline, arguing for a rediscovery of the practice as a functional part of modern faith. It is a rewarding read for those interested in the evolution of Christian tradition and the missing pieces of its historical practice.
