The era of late antiquity historically represented the crossroads of national culture and the rising and flourishing Christian life and faith.

Within the framework of this meeting, the revealed Christian truth had to protect its many believers from the practices of the pagan world, such as idolatry, superstitions, and, in general, customs that echoed sinful and distant states from the Christian life.

Some of these included magic with its practices, as well as the role of demonic forces in them. This study presents in a particularly systematic and analytical way the documentation of the total struggle of the Christian world of the West during late antiquity against magic and demons.
