#276 The healing metanarrative in the Old Testament 🗓
4 December, 14:00 UTC+0
God’s word is a meta-narrative, and threaded throughout the ancient text is a healing meta-narrative. Understanding the healing purposes of God’s redemptive story allows us to weave our individual micro-narratives into this greater story. The bible reveals a unique way to engage in purposeful, health-promoting, missional living wherever we are called to serve.
This first of a three-part series will present a comprehensive overview of the biblical healing meta-narrative in the Hebrew Old Testament. The Law, the Prophets and the Writings can enhance our understanding of the vital role of healthcare and global health engagement for the healing of all nations.
