Beschreibung:
In recent years, religiously inspired individuals have perpetrated numerous acts of violence, while millions of other faithful live quiet and kindly lives. Both see their actions as guided by the divine. In order to address this puzzle, John A. Jillions turns to the first-century world of Corinth, where Jews, Gentiles, and early Christians intermixed and vigorously debated issues of divine guidance, delusion, and decision-making. This text draws on these ancient insights to offer an outline for the 21st century and suggest criteria for assessing guidance perceived as divine.
