Religious Experience in Earliest Christianity: Missing Dimension in New Testament Studies

Religious Experience in Earliest Christianity: Missing Dimension in New Testament Studies

by Luke Timothy Johnson (Author)

Synopsis

In three fascinating probes of early Christianity - examining baptism, speaking in tongues, and meals in common - Johnson illustrates how a more wholistic approach opens up the world of healings and religious power, of ecstasy and spire - 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.
