The Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ. Reflection from Vatican II and the Charismatic Movement - Paul John Wang S.J.

The Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ is a theological and pastoral reflection on the healing work of Jesus as revealed in the Gospels, especially in the Gospel of John, and as understood through the teaching of the Second Vatican Council and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

Originally written as a master's thesis by Fr. Paul John Wang, SJ, this book explores the meaning of Christian healing as the restoration of the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Fr. Wang received his doctorate degree from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, USA.

Drawing from Scripture, Catholic theology, pastoral experience, and reflection on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, Fr. Wang examines how Jesus heals not only physical illness but also spiritual wounds, emotional suffering, fear, and alienation from God.

The book gives special attention to the healing miracles in the Gospel of John, including the healing of the royal official's son, the paralytic at Bethesda, the man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus.

Through these biblical accounts, the author shows that healing is not merely a display of power, but a sign of God's glory, mercy, and love.

This work also reflects on the role of prayer, faith, compassion, and the Church's mission to bring healing to those who suffer.

It invites readers to encounter Jesus Christ as the living Lord, the merciful Savior, and the healer who continues to care for humanity today.

This book is especially suited for readers interested in Catholic theology, Scripture, healing prayer, the Charismatic Renewal, pastoral ministry, and the continuing mission of the Holy Spirit in the Church.
