More about the book

Exploring the Qumran Hodayot, this book delves into how ancient visionary traditions, neuropsychology, and post-structuralism intersect. It argues that ritualized readings of first-person visionary accounts could foster a visionary subjectivity in ancient readers, enhancing their potential for religious experiences. By analyzing bodily references and emotional engagement in performative reading practices, it provides fresh interdisciplinary perspectives on meditative rituals as transformative religious practices in antiquity.
