Flint shows how many of the more discerning leaders of the early medieval Church decided to promote non-Christian practices originally condemned as magical--rather than repressing them or leaving them to waste away or \"growl.\" These wise leaders actively and enthusiastically incorporated specific kinds of \"magic\" into the dominant culture not only to appease the contemporary non-Christian opposition but also to enhance Christianity itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Irene Jane Flint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691001103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691001104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.17w x 1.12d","brand":"Valerie Irene Jane Flint","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120035688703,"sku":"9780691001104","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d513bbc-1645-4f27-8065-8ac68619deb0.jpg?v=1687412218","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rise-of-magic-in-valerie-irene-jane-flint-9780691001104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
