Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. This volume examines the reasons that prompted the New Testament writers to create the texts which would become the formation of the Christian religion, exploring the possibility that certain religious experiences were understood as revelatory, and consequently inspired the writing of texts which were seen as special from their inception. Mark Wreford uses Luke-Acts and Galatians as test-cases within the New Testament, reflecting both on the stated importance of religious experiences whether the authors own or others to the development of these texts, and the status the texts claim for themselves. Wreford suggests that Luke-Acts offers a helpful example of the relationship between religious experience and the creation of Scripture, as an extensive narrative which reflects on early Christian claims to Spirit-inspired witness and which begins with an explicit authorial statement of purpose. Similarly, in Galatians, Pauls autobiographical account of Gods revelation of Christ to him is the foundation of a letter that is intended to play an authoritative role in shaping its addressees own faith and practice. Wreford argues that religious experiences are presented as the driving force behind the creation of the texts, examining how such religious experience links with notions of scripture and canonicity. He then asserts that both Luke and Paul understood themselves to be creating new scriptural writings on the basis of their relationship to new religious experiences, citing the experience and speech at Pentecost, the inclusion of gentiles in the experience, and Pauls own conversion experience as key elements behind the self-understanding of these New Testament authors. This book uses Luke-Acts and Galatians to explore the possibility that the writers of the New Testament texts understood themselves to be writing Scripture on the basis of certain religious experiences whether their own, or others.
