Review: "The Lord for the Body explores the ways constructions of the body, gender, and social space informed the cultural practice of Protestant faith healing in Canada. From newspaper accounts to criminal proceedings, James Opp traces the reactions of ministers, doctors, and state authorities, who denounced faith healing as dangerous to spiritual and physical health. Undaunted by such attacks, the faithful continued to seek healing through prayer, a practice that operated as a powerful devotional observance and a point of resistance to modern medicine."--Jacket.
