There were different types of healing in antiquity, some more or less
inspired by different levels of scholarly discussions in different
medical schools, some more or less oriented around the model of a
charismatic healer without scholary knowledge. In Pagan, Jewish and
Christian texts which are discribing processes of healing a lot of
reasons for diseases and healing are given. This paper will deal with
the function of demons in such texts and propose answers to the
following questions: In which way pagan and Jewish concepts were
transformed in Christian texts? How these concepts of demons 'function'
in different types of texts to explain reasons for diseases and healing?
How different types of knowledge are hierarchically ordered?
