{"product_id":"anathema-maranatha-9781945147395","title":"Anathema Maranatha","description":"Far from being a religion defined by rituals of peace, and love and salvation, Christianity has a dark side which historically embraced the imprecatory arts --rituals of cursing and malediction. Beginning with God's curse upon Adam, Eve, the Serpent, and their descendants, the religion of Jesus Christ embraces a rich tradition of cursing and bringing evil upon others, even if unacknowledged. The magic of hate and harm also had a special place amongst the learned clergy, whose traffic with angels and demons is also known through the historical genre of grimoires, the so-called 'Black Books' of European necromancy. Drawing upon the Bible, as well as non-canonical scriptures and folk traditions, Anathema Maranatha examines the rich history of Christian malediction, from curses to blight farmland to magical operations meant to cause a building to collapse, to invoking the Saints against one's enemies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Three Hands Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945147395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208","brand":"Martin Duffy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39816840282293,"sku":"9781945147395","price":23.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b3b6cd0d-4dcb-4ea9-b90c-c69cb8daddc3.jpg?v=1618927258","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/anathema-maranatha-9781945147395","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
