Excellent- More about Spectral Lives by Luke and Philostratus: Journeying of Holy Men
In the first century, the Jewish Jesus, his followers, and the Pythagorean Apollonius traveled widely to spread their good news. Spectral Lives by Luke and Philostratus explores how affect theory has sensitized interpreters to the inner awareness of humans to their world, both beneficial and harmful, recorded in emotional responses. A survey of biographers from 500 BCE to 300 CE shows that Luke and Philostratus were particularly attuned to the journeying impelled by the deities and their spectral agents, forces active in their world ethically for good.

In the early centuries, the Jewish Jesus, his devoted followers, and the renowned Pythagorean Apollonius embarked on extensive travels, driven by a shared mission to spread their transformative messages. The captivating book "Spectral Lives by Luke and Philostratus: Journeying of Holy Men" delves into the lives of these biographers, Luke and Philostratus, and explores their profound ethical compulsion to share the good news with their world. Post-Enlightenment developments in historiography have brought forth a fresh perspective, unveiling a "third dimension" within ancient texts, a transhuman habitat that hints at the interconnectedness of all beings. In this insightful work, Robert Lee Williams delves into the impact of affect theory on the interpretation of human inner awareness, encompassing both the beneficial and harmful aspects, as recorded in the emotional responses of individuals. A comprehensive survey spanning from 500 BCE to 300 CE reveals that Luke and Philostratus, among other biographers, were particularly attuned to the journeys propelled by divine entities and their spectral agents. These forces, actively engaged in the world for the greater good, played a pivotal role in shaping their ethical narratives. The exploration of the ghostly influences that permeated their writings highlights their significance in spreading the principles of goodness and righteousness to our world, fostering a sense of ethical and equitable harmony.
