Demon Lovers Witchcraft, Sex, and the Crisis of Belief

"...DEMON LOVERS levels [Giordano] Bruno's argument, elegantly reformulated, on behalf of every man, woman, cat, cow, and other living creature who ever died unjustly at the hands of misguided piety, and in doing so it proves once again that philology, in certain contexts, can be a moral art. For all their learning, Stephens shows, for all the arcane texts they cited and the bizarre anecdotes they retailed, the hunters of witches knew nothing about what they most wanted to know."Stephens, Walter is the author of 'Demon Lovers Witchcraft, Sex, and the Crisis of Belief' with ISBN 9780226772615 and ISBN 0226772616.
