This 2004 book in English integrates detailed literary criticism of
the exorcism stories in Luke-Acts with wide-ranging comparative
study of ancient sources on demonology, spirit affliction and
exorcistic healing. Methods from systemic functional linguistics
and critical theory are explained and then applied to each story.
Careful focus is placed on each narrative's linguistic functions
and also on relevant aspects of its literary co-text and the wider
context of culture. Implications of the analysis for the new
perspective on Luke-Acts, especially the implied author's
relationship with Judaism, are explored in relation to the Lukan
stories' original context of reception. Largely neglected
interfaces between Luke's narrative representation of exorcism and
emerging academic discourse about religious experience, shamanism,
health care in antiquity, ritual performance and ancient Jewish
systems of impurity are probed in ways that shed fresh light on
this supremely alien part of the Lukan writings.
