In dieser Reihe werden Monographien und gesammelte Essays veröffentlicht, die sich mit dem Themenfeld der religiösen Erfahrung in der Antike befassen. Die Bände der Reihe werden verschiedene Bereiche religiöser Erfahrung und Strömungen ansprechen und besonders Ausdrucksformen religiösen Erlebens wie exstatischer Trance, Magie, Heilung, Weissagung, Prophezeiung, Träume und weitere Phänomene, die zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung religiöser Erfahrung beitragen. Dazu dient ein weites Spektrum von Methoden, das zeitgenössische soziologische, anthropologische, psychologische Herangehensweisen ebenso umfasst wie historische Analyse von textlichen, archäologischen und künstlerischen Quellen über religiöse Erfahrung.
This book examines the collection of prayers known as the Qumran Hodayot (= Thanksgiving Hymns) in light of ancient visionary traditions, new developments in neuropsychology, and post-structuralist understandings of the embodied subject. The thesis of this book is that the ritualized reading of reports describing visionary experiences written in the first person "I" had the potential to create within the ancient reader the subjectivity of a visionary which can then predispose him to have a religious experience. This study examines how references to the body and the strategic arousal of emotions could have functioned within a practice of performative reading to engender a religious experience of ascent. In so doing, this book offers new interdisciplinary insights into meditative ritual reading as a religious practice for transformation in antiquity.
