Author Description

Rediscover a Forgotten Classic on Faith and Healing Step into the bold vision of Otto Stockmayer—the nineteenth-century German evangelist who dared to confront the limitations of traditional thought and proclaim healing as part of Christ’s finished work. After a life-changing encounter with God’s power through Samuel Zeller in Männedorf, Switzerland, Stockmayer established a healing home in Thurgau, where lives were radically transformed by the gospel of Christ. In 1879, he released Sickness and the Gospel—the groundbreaking book that first connected divine healing directly to the atoning work of Christ. When revised and expanded in 1882, it spread rapidly across Europe and America, fueling the Faith Cure Movement and reshaping how Christians understood the cross. Now, Christos Publishing proudly brings this classic back into print—edited for today’s readers and enriched with a new biographical essay by J.D. King. Whether you are a pastor, leader, or believer longing for a deeper encounter with Jesus, this book will stir your faith and call you higher. Discover Stockmayer’s profound insights into faith, healing, and the unshakable love of Christ. Let his words awaken fresh hope in your heart and renew your confidence in the Savior who still heals today.
