Religious Experience in Earliest Christianity: A Missing Dimension in New Testament Study
Product Description
Religious Experience in Earliest Christianity: A Missing Dimension in New Testament Study
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.
