Experience With the Supernatural in Early Christian Times by Shirley Jackson Case is a scholarly work that delves into the supernatural experiences of early Christians. The book explores the various forms of supernatural experiences that were reported by the early Christians, including visions, dreams, and miracles. Case examines the historical and cultural context in which these experiences occurred and analyzes the ways in which they were interpreted and understood by the early Christian community. The book also explores the role of the supernatural in early Christian theology and how it shaped the beliefs and practices of the early Church. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including ancient texts and archaeological evidence, Experience With the Supernatural in Early Christian Times provides a comprehensive and insightful look at the supernatural beliefs and experiences of the early Christian community.1929. Supernaturalism runs like a scarlet thread through the whole Christians' Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Many a Christian today passes hastily over the miracle stories in the Scriptures and dwells with greater satisfaction on the less spectacular portrayal of men's moral ideals and spiritual struggles abundantly recorded in his sacred book. Why did the advocates of the new religion concern themselves so extensively with the imagery of supernaturalism? To answer this question is the purpose of the present volume. Contents: age of supernaturalism; visibility of spirits; media of revelation; heroic redeemers; suppliant humanity; protection for society; help for the individual; destiny of the soul; fate of the mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
