Ritual and Religious Experience in Early Christianities
The Spirit In Between
Seiten
In diesem Band stellt David John McCollough die weit verbreiteten Annahmen in Frage, dass Paulus dachte, der Geist werde durch die Wassertaufe vermittelt, dass "Rechtfertigung" nicht auf Erlebnissen beruhe und nichts mit Ritualen zu tun habe, dass Lukas inkohärent oder ein schlechter Redakteur gewesen sei und dass die Wassertaufe der wichtigste Initiationsritus der frühen Christenheit gewesen sei.
In this volume, David John McCollough offers a narratological, discourse analysis, and literary exegesis of texts in Paul and Luke-Acts, followed by interpretation with social anthropological approaches. The author challenges common assumptions about Paul, such as that Paul thought the spirit to be communicated through water baptism, or the notion that 'justification' was non-experiential and unrelated to ritual. He refutes the view that Luke was either incoherent or unconcerned or a poor editor of sources regarding early Christian initiation practices and questions the belief that water baptism was the cardinal initiation rite among early Christianities. He instead argues that spirit possession marked by dissociation and glossolalia was the cardinal initiation ritual for Pauline and Lukan communities.
