{"product_id":"ancient-magic-and-ritual-power-meyer-9780391041523","title":"Ancient Magic and Ritual Power","description":"This volume contains a series of provocative essays that explore expressions of magic and ritual power in the ancient world. The essays are authored by leading scholars in the fields of Egyptology, ancient Near Eastern studies, the Hebrew Bible, Judaica, classical Greek and Roman studies, early Christianity and patristics, and Coptology.\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the book the essays examine the terms employed in descriptions of ancient magic. From this examination comes a clarification of magic as a polemical term of exclusion but also an understanding of the classical Egyptian and early Greek conceptions of magic as a more neutral category of inclusion.\u003cbr\u003eThis book should prove to be foundational for future scholarly studies of ancient magic and ritual power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis publication has also been published in hardback (no longer available).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marvin Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0391041525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780391041523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.86w x 1.41d","brand":"Marvin Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076038652159,"sku":"9780391041523","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f8dfcd2-e262-4e99-b7ae-f7361cff8d0f.jpg?v=1685462826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ancient-magic-and-ritual-power-meyer-9780391041523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
