Summary
What did swearing mean to people in the ancient world? And what role did the written word play in this context? The contributions to this volume of collected essays are the first to examine the ancient curse tablets ( defixiones) on a large scale from an exegetical perspective and to draw on them in a productive way for the interpretation of New Testament texts.
