Faith Cures, and Answers to Prayer : The Life and Work of the First African American Healing Evangelist Hardback
by Mrs. Edward Mix
Part of the Women and Gender in Religion series
Hardback
Description
A rare example of an African American woman writing in the early nineteenth century.
This new edition places Sarah Mix (1832-1884) in the context of American religious history, and shows her influence on the emerging faith healing movement and other female healing evangelists, including Carrie Judd Montgomery and Maria Woodworth-Etter.
The divine healing movement, also known as faith healing or faith cure was a significant phenomenon in American religion and culture in the late nineteenth century.
More importantly, during this period of the divine healing movement, women occupied a central role as practitioners.
Both the religious and secular press reported her ministry, which was so successful that physicians referred patients to her.
In 1882 Sarah Mix published Faith Cures, and Answers to Prayer, which includes an account of her own healing of tuberculosis by a Methodist minister, letters of testimony from individuals who experienced her gift of healing, and press notices.
