Description

Explore the complex boundary between miracle-workers and magicians in this academic study from Bloomsbury. This book examines the difficulty contemporary readers face when trying to distinguish these characters within Greco-Roman narratives. By moving past modern definitions of magic and miracles, the text provides a deep look into how these roles functioned in antiquity. The research focuses on two specific texts: the Acts of the Apostles and Philostratus' Life of Apollonius. Although these works stem from different religious backgrounds, they reveal remarkably similar cultural scripts. Through a detailed investigation of social interactions within these two narrative worlds, this study offers a clear way to understand the subtle distinctions made in ancient texts.
