Is Magic Compatible with Christianity?

This is a small extract from the introduction to my book, "Ba'al Zebul: Lord of the Manor."

The earliest depictions we have of Jesus portray him as a magician, using a wand or staff as an aid in his wondrous feats. These sculptures and paintings have been found in Roman excavations dated to the third and fourth centuries.

“Every time that Jesus taught a Gentile, every time that he criticized the religious leaders, every time that he over-turned a standard interpretation of the Torah, Jesus was making a powerful political statement.”

“The truth cannot be held by one person. The truth is so much bigger than that. To try and claim that one has the truth is to demean the profundity of truth. The truth lies between us, in the no-man's land that exists between two divergent points of view in our transactions.”

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Buckminster Fuller

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
Albert Einstein

“Magic is not, as the followers of Epicurus and Aristotle think, utterly incoherent, but, as the experts in these things prove, is a consistent system, which has principles known to very few.”
Origen, Contra Celsus 1.24. (transl. Henry Chadwick, 1953)

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.”
Meister Eckhart, Sermons of Meister Eckhart

“Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.”
Maimonides, The Guide for the Perplexed

Steve Seven For those who would try to assert that politics should not be confounded with religion I would point out that these terms denote modern divisions of our life that were not seen as separate in the first century. Every time that Jesus taught a Gentile, every time that he criticized the religious leaders, every time that he over-turned a standard interpretation of the Torah, Jesus was making a powerful political statement.
