{"product_id":"anathema-maranatha","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.--Publisher \"Publisher\"","brand":"Three Hands Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48841809166541,"sku":"9781945147395","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_a6d4e41a-cfa3-4d62-b41e-e9089a07aa6c.jpg?v=1792177513","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/anathema-maranatha","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
