Abstract
Focusing on the magazine of the Protestant churches in China entitled Tian Feng, the article examines the debate over the issue of divine healing in the Reform-era Protestantism. It is widely thought that Christians get ill because they have sinned against God or are attacked by the Devil. Therefore, those who hold on to the conviction of divine healing believe that Christians who suffer from maladies should be healed by (and frequently only by) praying and/or exorcism. Accordingly, the Three-Self Church leaders who oppose to the advocates of divine healing interpret some biblical texts in arguing that “the sick needs a doctor.”
