Description

Explore the complex role of magic in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean through this scholarly collection from Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. Part of the Mundus Orientis series, this volume brings together diverse articles that examine magic from cognitive, historical, and material perspectives. While 19th century scholars often dismissed magical practices as primitive compared to Judeo-Christian worship, this work argues that the category of magic remains a useful tool for religious studies. By analyzing biblical texts and related artifacts, the contributors provide new insights into how magic functioned within its historical context. This book challenges old academic biases and offers a fresh look at the relationship between magic, religion, and material culture in the ancient world.
