Description: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 fascinating probes of early Christianity--examining baptism, speaking in tongues, and meals in common--Johnson illustrates how a more wholistic approach opens up the wolrd of healings and religious power, of ecstasy and spirit--in short, the religious experience of real persons.
