By Jillian D. Engelhardt and Jillian D. Nelson

This book examines four Matthean healing narratives, focusing on the impaired characters in the scenes. Informed by both empire studies and social stress theory, Jillian D. Engelhardt argues that more nuanced characterizations of the impaired characters and their social and somatic circumstances results in ambiguous interpretations.
