Religious Experience In Earliest Christianity

$25.00

Combining trenchant criticism with careful analysis, Luke Johnson calls for a radically new direction in New Testament studies, one that can change the way we view the entire phenomenon of early Christianity. In three fasinating probes of early Christianity – examining baptism, speaking in tongues, and meals in common – Johnson illustrates how a more holistic approach opens up the works of healings and religious power, of ecstasy and spirit – in short, the religious experience of real persons. Early Christian texts, he finds, reflect lives caught up in and defined by a power not in their control but engendered instead by the crucified and raised Messiah Jesus.
