: : I don't recall reading in the Bible where an angel ever healed
: : anyone, and if we assume that Gandalf is a sort of angelic
: : being, then it fits in with Tolkien's religious views.: Angels heal in the Bible. Among other references, there is a story in the New Testament about a pool where the invalid and ill people would go. Every hour an angel stirred the pool and whomever reached it first would be healed. There is no such story in the protestant bible. There is no story of angels healing anywhere. Growing up as a preachers son and bible study every Sunday and Wednesday night. I would have heard of something like that.
