Review title: A very good scholastic work, but with a negative slant.
Product review: Reading this book was bitter-sweet. Sweet in that there are not that many books on Branham and this book gives an excellent historical account of his ministry. The book is bitter in that, although the end of Branham's ministry was tragic in that he fell into doctrinal error, even the beginning of this prophet's ministry in "The Healer Prophet.."is portrayed with a skeptical, almost negative twist to it. This is Weaver's Ph.D. dissertation from a traditional, non-charasmatic seminary - which "may" account for the sometimes negative tone when the writer describes Branham's use of spiritual gifts. Never-the-less, Weaver's historical account is very good and informative. Even though the book has a few quirks, I still highly recommend this book if you want information on one of God's major prophets that was used powerfully during the Divine Healing movement.
