Magic, Religion, Science, and Secularization; Index to Biblical and Talmudic References; General IndexEvery culture makes the distinction between ""true religion"" and magic, regarding one action and its result as ""miraculous,"" while rejecting another as the work of the devil. Surveying such topics as Babylonian witchcraft, Jesus the magician, magic in Hasidism and Kabbalah, and magic in Anglo-Saxon England, these ten essays provide a rigorous examination of the history of this distinction in Christianity and Judaism. Written by such distinguished scholars as Jacob Neusner, Hans Penner, Howard Kee, Tzvi Abusch, Susan R. Garrett, and Moshe Idel, the essays explore a broad range of topics.MagicReligious aspectsCongressesMagicReligious aspectsJudaismCongressesMagicReligious aspectsChristianityCongressesReligion and scienceCongressesMagicReligious aspectsMagicReligious aspectsJudaismMagicReligious aspectsChristianityReligion and science291.3/3Neusner Jacob1932-2016Frerichs Ernest S.Flesher Paul Virgil McCrackenMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797762903321Religion, science, and magic3705223UNINA
