| Summary: | This article explores the dogmatic understanding of "divine healing" (iyashi 神癒), or "faith cure" as it is called from an outsider perspective, as one of the constituting elements of the "fourfold gospel" (shijū no fukuin 四重の福音) in the Japanese holiness movement during the first quarter of the twentieth century. Sources from within the movement as well as responses from outside will be analyzed and compared to research findings on divine healing in North American traditions of radical holiness and incipient Pentecostalism. Following the exploration of cross-cultural continuities and adjustments, I attempt to indicate how holiness healing relates to the modern Japanese discourse on medicine. |
