Author: OSGOOD, PHILLIPS ENDECOTT.
Title: Religion Without Magic.
Description: Boston:Beacon Press,1954. 1st ed. "Magic is the assumed power to influence or coerce deity or other forces by specific occult formulae or rites. Magic is both anti-rational and anti-scientific, even when men make a pseudo-science out of it. Institutional religion is permeated - and vitiated - by a magic ideology which should have been outgrown long ago." Pp.12/204, review request slip loosely inserted. Black cloth, d/w slightly rubbed with edge chips. G+/G+.
