Inhaltsangabe

This collection of essays continues the investigation of religious experience in early Judaism and early Christianity that began in Experientia, Volume 1. Drawing on insights from disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, social memory theory, neuroscience, and cognitive science, the authors focus especially on the relationship between primary texts and the religious experiences that precede or ensue from them. The essays explore a range of religious phenomena, such as worship, experiences within community, ecstasy, mystical ascent, gender, eating, and transformation achieved through reading. Through careful and theoretically informed work, the authors demonstrate the possibility of moving from written documents to assess the lived experiences that are linked to them.
