"The whole worldview has widened"

with contributions from Rex Gardner

Dr. Rex Gardner is part of the trend he chronicles: an emerging recognition within the medical profession that Christian healing merits thoughtful consideration.

It's a significant trend in a profession that, in recent decades, has been more noted for valuing technology than spirituality. And it's part of a larger trend surfacing in many fields: the new concern for ethics in business, the interest in spiritual values in education, government, film, journalism.

Dr. Gardner's book, Healing Miracles: A doctor investigates, was published in London. In preparing it, he gathered extensive clinical data for cases of Christian healing. He writes, in chapter 1: "Those of us who believe in miracles are not denying the laws of nature, which are merely descriptions of our observations: therefore they cannot be 'broken'; new facts irreconcilable with current 'law of nature' merely indicate that they will have to be reframed. But a purely secular framework may prove inadequate."
