Webinar #134 Dr Daniel O'Neill - Jesus' diverse healing methods

Recorded on 12 January 2023 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar and Q&A with Dr Daniel O'Neill. We all know that healing was a large part of the public ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. The major world religions and the primal religions share the concept of a divine healer. But what was unique about Jesus’ healing ministry? During this webinar we will explore the patterns of the Messianic hope in the Old Testament, the fulfilment of these in the New, and the many diverse healing methods recorded in the Gospels. From this, we hope to capture a vision for the diverse ways both the whole church and the whole Christian healthcare community can participate in God’s work of healing all of creation. Daniel O’Neill, MD, MTh is a physician-theologian and managing editor of Christian Journal for Global Health, Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and holds a master’s degree in theological studies from Bethel Seminary. He has served on health and development projects among impoverished or displaced populations. He is a co-founder of Health for All Nations and author and co-editor of the book All Creation Groans: Toward a Theology of Disease and Global Health.
