Sidequest 27 β Magic and Early Christianity with Dr. ShailyΒ Patel
In response to a suggestion from Dr. Rhiannon Garth Jones, I reached out to Dr. Shaily Patel at Virginia Tech (GO HOKIES!) to see if she would come on the podcast. Turns out she was willing to do so and this led to a discussionβ¦
I will definitely find a copy of it. The book seems so important that I have to read it, even if it is just history's version of Internet trolling.
