Know about the book -

Religious Experience in Earliest Christianity is written by Luke Timothy Johnson and published by Fortress Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1451413262 (ISBN 10) and 9781451413267 (ISBN 13).

In three fascinating probes of early Christianity - examining baptism, speaking in tongues, and meals in common - Johnson illustrates how a more wholistic approach opens up the world of healings and religious power, of ecstasy and spire - in short, the religious experience of real persons. Early Christian texts, he finds, reflect lives caught up in and defined by a power not in their control but engendered instead by the crucified and raised Messiah Jesus.
