N2  - Who is a true prophet? Who has a real access to divine realms of knowledge? Early Christian communities accused each other's prophets of madness and of making false claims to divine knowledge... This book clarifies how early Christian arguments about rationality, madness, and the role of spiritual gifts in history are attempt to negotiate authority and to define religious identity in the midst of many competing forms of Christianity ... and in the context of the Greco-Roman world, where prophecy, visions, ecstasy, and dreams were the subject of cutting-edge philosophical, medical, and even political debates
