Religion Editorial Review

Ancient Christian Magic: Coptic Texts of Ritual Power is a scholarly work that explores the early Coptic Christian belief in magic. The book provides a general overview of the concept of ancient Christian magic and includes examples and discussions to support its arguments. However, it does not go into detail on the practice of ancient Christian magic and may not be suitable for those seeking a practical guide. The book is praised for its historical support and reasoning, and its wealth of information, but is criticized for the gaps in the spells, which may require readers to make educated guesses. Overall, Ancient Christian Magic is recommended for those interested in textual studies and learning about books written during the same time as the Christian Bible, but excluded from it.
