 Sickness and Healing—What the Bible Tells Us   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
What we need to fully realize is that these are not necessarily equivalent—that is, not every sick person has sinned and became sick as a consequence of his or her sin, and not every healed person has had to repent of individual sins that might have caused him or her to become sick.
At the same time, some people who believe this wrong concept have become very judgmental toward sick people who were not healed, condemning them by assuming they must have sinned and that God must have refused to forgive them.

Demetrius first sent Nicanor with an army, and, after his defeat and death, Bacchides, in fighting against whom Judas died a heroic death at Laisa (Eleasa), 160 B.C. Alcimus now set to work to carry out his hellenizing policy and to persecute those faithful to the law.

The Loved and the Lost (1951) is considered by many to be his masterpiece.
