"Joseph W. Williams offers a compelling examination of the changing healing practices
of pentecostals in the United States over the past hundred years, from the early believers,
who rejected mainstream medicine and overtly spiritualized disease, to the later generations
of pentecostals and their charismatic successors, who dramatically altered the healing
paradigms they inherited. Williams shows that over the course of the twentieth century,
pentecostal denunciations of the medical profession often gave way to "natural" healing
methods associated with scientific medicine, natural substances, and even psychology.
By the early twenty first century, figures such as the pentecostal preacher T. D.
Jakes appeared on The Dr. Phil Show, other healers marketed their books at mainstream
retailers such as Wal-Mart, and some developed lucrative nutritional products that
sold online and in health food stores across the nation. Exploring the interconnections,
resonances, and continued points of tension between pentecostal adherents and some
of their fiercest rivals, Spirit Cure chronicles pentecostals' embrace of competitors'
healing practices and illuminates their dramatic transition from a despised minority
to major players in the world of American evangelicalism and mainstream American culture."--Publisher's
