520 |a This article assesses John Pilch's contribution to the exegesis of biblical texts dealing with extraordinary experiences and phenomena such as visions, flights of the soul, healings and the like. It focuses on Pilch's methodology for reconstructing the interpretations that the original audiences had most probably given to such texts. This methodology, which combines an emic approach with the use of different models drawn from medical anthropology, cultural and cognitive psychology and neurobiology, shows that ancient Mediterranean people would have considered those apparently fantastic stories of healings and visions plausible, because many among them had lived through similar experiences. The article contrasts the contextualized and scientifically informed realism that Pilch's interpretations ascribe to many of these texts with that pertaining to naïve and fundamentalist readings of the Bible.
