Deuteronomy 18 says spells and other forms of magic are an abomination, but how does that apply to fantasy magic?

In this book, Kyle Worley (pastor, author, and host of the “Knowing Faith Podcast”) guides listeners along the story of Scripture to help them understand that this invitation into life with God in Christ is not only a key part of the Bible’s entire message, but also, the primary belief of Christian salvation.
