Ancient Christians and the Power of Curses: Magic, Aesthetics, and Justice
Nasrallah, Laura Salah (Yale University, Connecticut)
Ancient Christians lived in a world of 'magic.' They and others-particularly those of low status-used curses as ritual objects to seek justice from gods and other beings. These curses, and invective against them, reveal the complexity of ancient Mediterranean religions and their aesthetics: their use of materiality, poetics, song, and incantation.
