Abstract: The article reviews the book Spirit Cure: A History of Pentecostal Healing, by Joseph W. Williams. According to the reviewer, Joseph W. Williams offers a refreshing interpretation of pentecostals’ belief in divine healing in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Arguing for continuity over change, he contends that pentecostalism had always been part of “a broad-based metaphysical tradition within U.S. religion.”
