Beskrivning
Three volumes in a series exploring belief in the Evil Eye and the practices associated with it amongst the cultures of the Biblical world.In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus of Nazareth makes reference to one of the oldest beliefs in the ancient world - the malignity of an Evil Eye. The Holy Scriptures in their original languages contain no less than twenty-four references to the Evil Eye, although this is obscured by most modern Bible translations. John H. Elliott's Beware the Evil Eye describes this belief and associated practices, its history, its voluminous appearances in ancient cultures, and the extensive research devoted to it over the centuries in order to unravel this enigma for readers who have never heard of the Evil Eye and its presence in the Bible. This is the first of a four-volume work on the Evil Eye.

Recensioner i media

Elliot's study is, without a doubt, a masterpiece of its genre. ... It is encyclopaedic in its coverage, but the monograph format allows greater detail and makes for a more readable and less atomistic text. Elliot's coverage is exhaustive, yet never falls into superficiality that such work can sometimes take on ... Elliot's work, which reads like the culmination of a lifetime interest in the topic, is destined to remain the standard reference on the Evil Eye for many decades to come.
