Historically magic has been considered to be questionable obscure and potentially subversive. This volume refrains from using it as an othering device and argues that it can serve as a helpful analytical tool and a category for understanding particular beliefs and practices within religious life. The articles discuss the concept in biblical and related texts as well as in scholarship and offer examples of magic in literary and material culture. The theoretical perspectives of cultural evolution and cognitive and ritual studies are applied with a focus on the representations of magic(ians) in ancient sources and on the role of magic in blessings curses and the world of protective and destructive celestial beings.Magic is fundamental to all forms of religion
