"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." (James 5:13-16)
What kinds of sicknesses are specified in the text? What does it mean to “call for the elders?” What is meant by “anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord?” What is the prayer of faith? How are we to understand the seemingly unconditional nature of the language: “And the prayer of faith will save the sick”? What do these words mean: “If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven'?
