I believe that God has the power to heal instantly without the material tools of scientific medicine; but I also believe that God gave us a will-and he expects us to use good old-fashioned common sense.

Kathryn Kuhlman

Kathryn Kuhlman (1907–1976) war eine US-amerikanische Evangelistin und Heilungspredigerin, die vor allem in Pittsburgh und Los Angeles wirkte und die charismatische Bewegung maßgeblich prägte. Bekannt wurde sie durch überregionale Wundergottesdienste und Medienformate, in denen sie die persönliche Bekehrung und die Hingabe an den Heiligen Geist in den Mittelpunkt stellte. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sie das Profil pfingstlicher Frömmigkeit, steht jedoch zugleich für die anhaltende Debatte über die medizinische Nachweisbarkeit von Glaubensheilungen.
