Laying on of Hands
Foundations of the Christian FaithSteve Gregg
In "Laying on of Hands," Steve Gregg explores the practice of laying on of hands as an intensely personal and communal aspect of the Christian faith. He argues that while evangelism is important, being part of a community of believers is equally foundational to correctly following in the path of Jesus. Gregg discusses the biblical imagery of hands being laid on and the community aspect of the early Christian Church. He concludes that laying on of hands is a way of acknowledging the reality of God's work in people's lives and that it is essential for believers to acknowledge their membership in the body of Christ.
