Title: Religious experience in earliest Christianity
Subtitle: a missing dimension in New Testament studies
First published: 1998
Description: "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."--BOOK JACKET.
