More about the book

The account of Walpurga Hausmännin's trial reveals a complex intersection of witchcraft, sexuality, and theological inquiry during the 16th century. Walter Stephens explores the obsessive fixation on demonology among Christian scholars, examining foundational texts like the Malleus Maleficarum. Rather than portraying early witchcraft writers as mere misogynists, he presents them as rational skeptics grappling with deep contradictions in Christian doctrine. This investigation highlights a broader crisis of belief in the supernatural that resonates in contemporary discussions about spirituality and the occult.
