Mark E Powell – Pointing to the Healer

Dr. Mark Powell visits the Isenheim Altarpiece, painted by Matthias Grünewald between 1512 and 1516. In our time of struggle, let us point to the Wounded Healer. Thanks to HST alum Dr. Nathan Guy, president of Mars Hill Bible School in Florence, AL, for the video. This is a part of Dr. Guy’s Light in the Darkness series.
