NCLA Review - This scholarly book takes an intriguing new look at the healings Jesus performed and presents the argument that Jesus healed people from psychosomatic illnesses. These people had real physical illnesses and disabilities but with a mental or emotional origin. The premise is that Jesus work ed within the laws of nature and used his charismatic personality rather than supernatural powers. To explain his viewpoint on the healings, Capps references and explains a great deal of psychiatric diagnostic material. The book would especially interest pastors and mental health professionals. Others may find it an intellectually challenging read, but it is well worth the effort.

All of the Gospels and the whole of Christian tradition depict Jesus as a miraculous healer who can cure blindness, leprosy, hemorrhages, and a host of other maladies. But how did Jesus actually heal? In this fascinating book, Donald Capps argues that Jesus was keenly attuned to the psychological causes of illness and through his ministry brought healing to body and soul alike. Capps argues that one of Jesus' purposes was to heal people from mental illnesses, which people in the ancient world would have seen manifested in physical ailments such as blindness, paralysis, or other symptoms. Fully engaged in historical Jesus scholarship, Capps carefully examines Jesus' deep concern for both physical and emotional health and shows how his proclamation of the kingdom of God envisioned a world without mental illness.
