Paul's letters to early churches form one of the largest and most theologically rich parts of the New Testament.

Wilson contest this way of construing the work. Where others have seen chaos,...

Although healing constitutes both a major theme of biblical literature and a significant practice of biblical communities, healing themes and experiences are not always conspicuous in presentations of biblical theology. The author adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the healing narratives in the Gospel of Matthew.
