Focusing on religious ecstatic trance experiences and healing events in the Acts of the Apostles, this book employs insights from cultural anthropology, cognitive neuroscience, and medical anthropology to interpret these occurrences. It also analyzes Luke's continuous narrative from both literary and theological angles. The text argues that, regardless of one's stance on the factuality of these events, they resonate with the cultural context of a first-century Mediterranean audience.
