Theurgy In Late Antiquity by Ilinca Tanaseanu-Dobler
The Invention of a Ritual Tradition
This scholarly work delves into the complex and mystical practice of theurgy during the late antiquity period, exploring its philosophical underpinnings and its role in the spiritual lives of its practitioners. The book examines how theurgy, as a form of ritual magic, was used to invoke divine presence and achieve spiritual ascent, bridging the human and the divine. Through a detailed analysis of historical texts and philosophical discourse, the study highlights the interplay between theurgy and Neoplatonism, shedding light on the broader cultural and religious transformations of the time.
