Patterns in Magical Christianity

Book by Lash, Joseph P.

This is a book which should be required reading for all theological students and seminarians. It represents a long and grievously neglected heritage which the early Fathers of the Church took for granted and which was current throughout the West until the Reformation and its aftermath submerged much of Christian thinking and understanding in a tide of too often arid intellectualism. Here is a carefully and intelligently prepared contribution towards restoring our current somewhat rationalistically disturbed equilibrium.
