Review Quotes:
"This book deals with a topic often mistakenly dismissed by scholars as magic or superstition due to our dominant materialistic-rational-empirical worldview. Stoeber and Meynell's book, by contrast, approaches the topic as one deserving of serious scholarly study and carries out its analysis with academic rigor. It engages several of North America's best philosophical minds in the process and produces a very readable result." -- Harold Coward, University of Victoria
