About this book

Jesus the Healer: Possession, Trance, and the Origins of Christianity by Davies, Stevan L.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780826407948.

Arguing that the Gospels reveal Jesus to have been a spirit-possessed healer and an exorcist of demon-possessed people, Davies shows how contemporary anthropological studies brilliantly illuminate precisely those facts. Jesus ability to bring about religious trance states can be understood by analogy to the increasingly acclaimed psychotherapeutic techniques of Milton Erickson.
