New Testament Magic?

I was recently contacted by Robert Conner who writes:

I bumped into your fascinating site while looking for Phlegon. There
has been some speculation that the resurrection stories of the New
Testament are ghost stories. If this is of any interest, may I suggest
my own web book, Magic in the New Testament
(magicinthenewtestament.com), and a recent article in the Journal for
the Study of the New Testament by Deborah Prince (JTNT 29: 287-301).


I haven't had time for more than a cursory look at the web book, and honestly am not sure what to make of it. The article referred to is The 'Ghost' of Jesus: Luke 24 in Light of Ancient Narratives of Post-Mortem Apparitions. Unfortunately, only the abstract is available online.
