Roger E. Olson, “‘Faith Healing’: What Is It?” Patheos (April 27, 2023).

Historian of religion, Roger Olson, argues that the terms “faith healer” and “faith healing,” though popular with journalists, critics, and now even some historians, are unknown terms to the people and movement (Pentecostals and charismatics) that they are supposed to represent. He says none of the so-called faith healers believed it was faith that healed. Rather, they all believed it was God that healed. Olson concludes, “I do believe in and have experienced healing through prayer within the church as commanded by James 5:13-15 and believe Christians ought to follow that pattern in prayer for the sick.”
