Charismata and Compassion : Dhinakaran, Charismatic Healing and Pastoral Pentecostalism in South India - A Practical Theological Assessment

This book is a theological assessment of the Jesus Calls divine healing movement as it developed in South India. It analyses the thought of the founder D.G.S. Dhinakaran, India's pre-eminent healing evangelist and explores its potential and adequacy as a pastoral theology. It draws out Dhinakaran's healing theology and model for ministry that has significantly contributed to Indian mission and attained international recognition. Until now, this movement has received no critical analysis. The author, a native of South India, as an observer-participant, takes up this task.
