Fascinating account of Jewish, Christian and pagan uses of "magic" (a term the author criticises, but which seems to have been imposed by her publisher) in the first three centuries. Could draw wider connections in places. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Using in-depth examples of 'magical' practice such as exorcisms, love rites, alchemy and the transformation of humans into divine beings, this lively volume demonstrates that the word 'magic' was used widely in late antique texts as part of polemics against enemies and sometimes merely as a term for other people's rituals. Naomi Janowitz shows that 'magical' activities were integral to late antique religious practice, and that they must be understood from the perspective of those who employed them.
