Books like Witchcraft

A sixteenth-century polemic marshaling reason and scripture against witch-hunts, notable for its embedded exposé of conjurers' tricks and its defense of the vulnerable accused.

A dense, meticulously argued academic history tracing wicca's roots through literary and cultural movements — rewarding for readers interested in scholarly rigor rather than narrative drama.

A dense, systematic march through two-and-a-half millennia of Western political thought, delivered in the measured, expository voice of mid-century academic scholarship.

A learned nineteenth-century survey delivered as letters, walking through the history and psychology of belief in witches, ghosts, and demons with an antiquarian's curiosity and a skeptic's eye.

A patient, learned survey of how the monotheistic God has been imagined and experienced across three faiths and several millennia — dense with intellectual history but written to illuminate rather than gatekeep.

A rousing, providentially-tinged retelling of the American founding, pitched for a general trade audience in Metaxas' signature narrative-biography voice — accessible, dramatic, and unabashedly celebratory.
