An Ecstasy of Folly: Prophecy and Authority in Early Christianity - Harvard Theological Studies
Laura Nasrallah
Early Christian communities accused each other's prophets of madness and of making false claims to divine knowledge. This book argues that they did not seek to answer questions about true prophecy or to define madness and rationality, but rather used this discourse to control knowledge, to establish authority, and to define Christian identity.
