LUKE TIMOTHY JOHNSON 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 on 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 world of healings and religious poer, of ecstasy and spirit -- in short, the religious experience of real persons. Paperback. 208 pages Luke Timothy Johnson is Robert W. Woodruff Professor of New Testament at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. His books include the bestselling The Writings of the New Testament (Fortress Press, 1986) and The Real Jesus (HarperSanFrancisco, 1996).
