<description descriptionType="Abstract"><p>This article introduces the project Early Jewish and Christian Magical Traditions in Comparison and Contact, the first large-scale interdisciplinary comparative study of Jewish and Christian magical objects from Late Antiquity. It is expected to significantly improve knowledge of ancient magic and early Jewish&ndash;Christian relations in lived religion (i.e. religion as it was actually practiced in everyday life). The project examines the local and global features of these objects&mdash;and the social contexts behind them&mdash;through a synthetic and innovative interpretive framework, which draws upon various academic fields including religious studies, sociology, and art history. The project&rsquo;s illumination of the late antique lived contexts of early Jews and Christians will help rewrite the history of two of the world&rsquo;s most prolific religions.&nbsp;</p></description>
