Healing Isn’t What You Think — Holy Unction Explained
Beyond the Seven: The Orthodox Vision of the Mysteries Amazon Book Link: https://amzn.to/4srZN8X Is healing just a miracle… or something deeper? In this video, we explore the Orthodox understanding of Holy Unction—the mystery of healing for both body and soul. Drawing from Scripture and the Church Fathers, we examine: • What does James 5 actually teach about healing? • Why does the Church anoint the sick with oil? • Is healing guaranteed? • What happens if someone isn’t physically healed? • How does suffering fit into the Christian life? This isn’t just about physical healing—it’s about restoration, wholeness, and participation in the life of Christ. #HolyUnction #Healing #OrthodoxChurch #Christianity #Theology #EasternOrthodox Beyond the Seven: The Orthodox Vision of the Mysteries Contents Preface 1 PART I — THE PROBLEM OF “SEVEN” Chapter 1: What Is a Mystery?
