By:Marvin W. Meyer,Paul Allan Mirecki
Published on 2001 by Brill Academic Pub

Marvin Meyer, director of the Coptic Magical Texts Project, Institute for Antiquity and Christianity, and Paul Mirecki, associate professor of religious studies at the University of Kansas, have assembled top scholars from around the world to examine magic and ritual power in the ancient world. Experts in the fields of Egyptology, ancient Near Eastern studies, the Hebrew Bible, Judaica, classical Greek and Roman studies, early Christianity and patristics, and Coptology tackle the tough questions of defining and describing magic and reconsider past definitions and descriptions from the vantage point of |empowerment,| specifically ritual power. A strategy of evaluating the language of magic reveals its role in polemics and suggests that the classical Egyptian and early Greek conceptions of magic are a more neutral category of inclusion. This book, for the first time in paperback, has already proven to be foundational for scholarly inquiry into ancient magic and ritual power.
