This book examines religious ecstatic trance experiences and healing events reported in the Acts of the Apostles. It applies insights from the social sciences, namely: cultural anthropology, cognitive neuroscience, and medical anthropology to the interpretation of these events. It also present Luke's continuous storyline in Acts from a literary and theological perspective. Whether or not one considered these events to be literally factual, fact-with-interpretation, or Lucan composition, the message makes plausible cultural sense to a first-century Mediterranean listener or reader.
