520 |a The current volume brings together 14 essays which Pilch had published between 1993 and 2009 in various books and journals. They all in one way or another address the phenomenon of alternate states of consciousness as they appear in biblical and pseudepigraphical material. They attempt to provide the reader in constructing "an appropriate scenario for reading and interpreting biblical reports containing references to alternate states of consciousness"(xiii). The articles appear as published previously with minimal revision. For each essay Pilch appended an updated bibliography, which refers mainly to the anthropological and social-scientific literature which was consulted in the research process. He also included biblical studies that incorporate social-scientific insights in the interpretation of the Bible. In his research Pilch moved from the designation "altered" state of consciousness to the phrase alternat estate of consciousness as Psychological anthropologists note that the continuity of consciousness is an illusion. Our levels of consciousness change many times during the day, so it is best to speak of alternate states. The word 'altered' falsely suggests that there exists a 'stable' state of consciousness that changes. Not so. Consciousness shifts all the time (xiii).
