Description

Explore a fresh scholarly perspective on ancient practices with Magic in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean. This volume, part of the Mundus Orientis series, brings together diverse articles to examine how the category of magic provides new insights into biblical and related texts and artifacts. Historically, magic has often been viewed through a lens of doubt or seen as something obscure and subversive. While 19th-century scholars sometimes labeled magical beliefs as primitive compared to Judeo-Christian worship, this collection challenges those older views. Instead, it treats magic as a useful tool for religious studies, offering cognitive, historical, and material perspectives. This book is an essential resource for those interested in ancient history, religious studies, and the cultural contexts of the Bible. By looking at both texts and physical artifacts, the contributors help redefine our understanding of the religious landscape in the ancient Eastern Mediterranean.

Key Features

Provides new insights into biblical texts and related artifacts through various academic lenses.

Offers a collection of articles focused on cognitive, historical, and material perspectives.

Challenges outdated 19th-century views that labeled magic as inferior to formal religion.

Serves as a valuable resource for religious studies and ancient history research.

Part of the respected Mundus Orientis series published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht.
