Franklin Hall The doctrine of healing in the atonement did not die out in the early part of the century. There was a revival of healing fervor in the middle of the century, led by men such as William Branham, Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, and A.A. Allen. A publication which had widespread influence in reviving the doctrine that healing guaranteed in the atonement was Atomic Power with God through Fasting and Prayer by Franklin Hall. He had a “revival center” in San Diego, California, and taught that fasting and prayer were the means to the restoration of apostolic miracles for the end times. He taught that the “fire of the Holy Spirit” would eliminate the potential for sickness, tiredness, and even body odor (Dictionary of Pentecostal, p. 346). Pentecostal historian David Harrell, Jr., notes that though Hall was somewhat isolated because of his doctrine, his book on fasting had a major impact on the Pentecostal movement and most of the healing evangelists used it (Harrell, All Things Are Possible, p. 81).
