Drunk in the Spirit

What the Bible Says About Trance, Ecstasy, and God’s Supernatural Love

About this book

Sloshed. Hammered. Doing "carpet time." Sipping "godka." Videos showing people falling down, shaking, and spontaneously laughing . . . all in church. If one has not grown up in the Charismatic or Pentecostal tradition, the concept of being "drunk in the Spirit" likely seems baffling. Yet, in recent decades, the idea of spiritual intoxication has gained traction. What should we think about such odd-looking manifestations? Does the Bible speak of anything like this? How should we discern such things? In this book readers will find a sustained analysis of passages from the Bible dealing with these very topics. Readers may be shocked at how trances, ecstatic episodes, and altered states of consciousness are indeed found within the pages of sacred Scripture--some of them hidden in one's own cherished stories.
