Rohde wrote that his book is about the opinions held by the Greeks about the "life" of the human soul "after death". He questions the nature and understanding of death. Rohde traces the origins of the concept of the immortality of the soul, properly speaking, to the experience of "sacred madness" ( hieromania ) within the Thracian cult of Dionysos. Keywords: death; Erwin Rohde; hieromania ; human soul; immortality; Theophilus of Antioch

In examining the 'oppositional' groups that are the subject of the Kirby paper, I start with the proposition that they reflect a certain 'world construction', to use Peter Berger's phrase. I would characterize this perspective as 'Western historical', and particularly, in the case of groups within the United States, as 'linear'. This constructed analogical 'world' can be viewed as either benign or detrimental, from the standpoint of society in general. depending on how things are set up. The key player within this world construction is, of course. God, who is the Guarantor of order and the unfolding purposes of human history-thus the 'linear' outlook of such perspectives. This general world construct gets individualized when a particular group or individual comes to see themselves (or himself or herself) as more than merely a general agent. He or she becomes an essential or even exclusive instrument of the purpose that God is guaranteeing to the world. In the most extreme case, one is dealing with what might be called a 'messianic' complex. Groups and individuals such as these see
