Magic in the New Testament by Robert Conner
Early Christians were accused of practicing magic by Jews, pagans, and other Christians. Magic in the New Testament examines magical praxis common to the New Testament, the magical papyri, the Sepher Ha-Razim, the Book of Enoch, the apocryphal Acts and the pre-Nicene church fathers and surveys the professional literature on early Christian magic from 1927 through 2009. Additional topic include: -magic, family and sexuality, -the Old Testament background of early Christian magic, -the relationship between magic and apocalypticism, -veneration of relics and necromantic sorcery, -resurrection, ghost stories and polymorphism, -magic and mystery cult in early Christianity.
Robert Conner studied Greek and Hebrew at Western Kentucky University from 1975 through 1977. Since 1983, he has published books and articles on electrocardiography, a novel, three books on magic in early Christianity, and a study of the Secret gospel of Mark controversy. He has always been fascinated with languages and enjoys reading the gospels in their original tongue.
