Appearances of the Risen Jesus in Cultural Context: Experiences of Alternate Reality

John J. Pilch

Georgetown University, Washington DC, pilchjj{at}gu-sun.georgetown.edu

This cross-cultural study of appearances of the Risen Jesus builds on previous research (Pilch 1993; 1995a; 1996) in anthropological psychology about human experiences of alternate reality, also termed "altered states of consciousness." There is a high degree of cultural plausibility in the Mediterranean world that those persons in the Second Testament reported to have "seen" Jesus, the risen Galilean hasîd or saddiq, could be interpreted as claiming that in an alternate state of consciousness they experienced Jesus' "real self." This would be like the human experience of similarly real other-than-human persons, such as angels, demons, gods, or God.
