Hindered both by our modern definitions of "miracle" and "magic," we need to focus our attention on those ancient texts that deal with such characters and their differentiation. Two such texts, the Acts of the Apostles and Philostratus' Life of Apollonius, come from quite different religious backgrounds, but demonstrate remarkably similar subtle cultural scripts at play. A detailed investigation of the social interactions in these two narrative worlds brings these characters and their communities alive and reveals how legitimate miracle -workers were distinguished from illegitimate magicians by the Mediterranean population of the Greco-Roman world. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Apollonius,|cof Tyana.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79004116 600 00 Philostratus,|cthe Athenian,|dactive 2nd century-3rd century.|tLife of Apollonius of Tyana.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n85342455 600 04 Apollonius,|cof Tyana. 600 04 Philostratus,|cthe Athenian,|dactive 2nd century-3rd century. 600 04 Apollonios,|cde Tyane. 600 04 Philostrate,|cl'Athénien. 600 06 Apollonios,|cde Tyane. 600 06 Philostrate,|cl'Athénien. 600 07 Apollonius,|cof Tyana.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /29864 630 00 Bible.|pActs|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79022117|xCriticism, interpretation, etc.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99004866 630 00 Bible.|pActs.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79022117 630 06 Bible.|pActes des Apôtres|xCritique, interprétation, etc. 630 7 Bible.|pActs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1892885 630 07 Bible.|pActs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1892885 630 07 Life of Apollonius of Tyana (Philostratus, the Athenian) |2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1357958 650 0 Miracle workers.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85085929 650 0 Magicians.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85079630 650 7 Miracle workers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1023533 650 7 Magicians.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1005551 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aReimer, Andy M.
