Magic in Religion

Magic in Religion challenges the conventional separation between magic and religion, arguing that magical thinking, rituals, and supernatural beliefs are deeply interwoven within diverse religious traditions.

The book explores how elements like exorcisms, divination, and the use of amulets are integral components of many religious systems, not merely superstitious add-ons.

Understanding this interconnectedness provides a more nuanced appreciation of religious phenomena and the human quest for meaning. For example, the book highlights how healing rituals in indigenous religions demonstrate this integration.

The book's strength lies in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing from anthropology, religious studies, history, and sociology to provide a comprehensive analysis.

It challenges Western-centric views that marginalize non-Western religious practices. Progressing through foundational definitions of magic, religion, and ritual, the book presents case studies from various cultures, culminating in a discussion of implications for understanding religious belief and practice.

This academic exploration fosters a holistic understanding of human spirituality.
