Judge for Yourself
This book has a misleading title-- it is more about Christian witchcraft theorists and their struggle to come to terms with their religion as it was being taught and preached than about witchcraft or sex. Stephens' theory is that witchcraft theorists used witchcraft and demons to convince themselves of the verity of God. This is not an uninteresting idea, but he tends to bring it too far into semantics for my taste.
At points, he seems to be merely fitting what evidence he can find into a pre-determined thesis and skeleton. He barely glosses over the pagan and folkloric traditions of witchcraft and tells us that as modern readers, we clearly know that witches and demons do not exist, thus completely dismissing this side of the argument. In these things, he seems to fall into the same traps that he accuses the witchcraft theorists of.
He gets a little goofy at times, but I did appreciate the book for the large amount of information that it gathered together.
