Abstract
Several scholars (A. Porterfield, G. Wingren) have suggested that Lutheran theology, despite its focus on the importance of creation, seems to lack an adequate theology for the healing of the body. This claim is here taken up, discussed and substantiated, in order to suggest a constructive theology of bodily healing from a Lutheran perspective. A Lutheran theology of bodily healing needs to be based on a doctrine of creation as well as in an understanding of the healing ministry of Jesus. This approach allows for a perspective that sees such healing as presence and revelation of God, as grace, and as related to, but not conditioned by, faith.
