Contemporary understanding of Jesus's healing works

Steven Galipeau's thoughtful, insightful exploration of the healing ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, in the light of contemporary Jungian understandings, is one of the very best books on the subject of spiritual healing that I have ever read. For liberal-minded Christians frustrated by the tangles of church-centered Christology and theology, it's refreshing to find an author who emphasizes Jesus's main interest -- helping hurting people get well. Highly recommended. I hope to hear of more works from this author's pen.
