The Magic Of The People And The Struggle Of The Church Against It - Viktor Rydberg - Bog

""The Magic Of The People And The Struggle Of The Church Against It"" is a book written by Viktor Rydberg that explores the conflict between traditional folk beliefs and the Church in Sweden during the 19th century. The book is divided into two parts, the first part examines the history of magic and folklore in Sweden, while the second part focuses on the Church's efforts to suppress these beliefs. Rydberg argues that the Church's attempts to eradicate magic and superstition were often misguided and ultimately unsuccessful, as many people continued to hold onto their traditional beliefs despite the Church's efforts. Throughout the book, Rydberg draws on a variety of historical sources and personal anecdotes to provide a detailed and nuanced account of this fascinating period in Swedish history. Overall, ""The Magic Of The People And The Struggle Of The Church Against It"" is an insightful and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between religion, folklore, and cultural identity.THIS 74 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Magic of the Middle Ages, by Viktor Rydberg.
