Re: Biblical Exorcism vs Pagan Etc.
The same could be said even of healing... mixing dirt and saliva, to be rubbed in the eyes of the blind.

The ritual healings/exorcisms in the NT are much more in line with known magical practices of the time than many would like. The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man by Robert Price is a decent read covering some of these issues.
