Kerry Muhlestein and Robert Ritner, both Egyptologists, take diametrically opposed views on the authenticity of the Book of Abraham. Notwithstanding, they have made available in a public venue a number of their works on Egyptology those with an interest in (1) the Book of Abraham and/or (2) more broadly, Egytpology as a whole will find interesting. The following are book-length texts on the topic of "magic" in ancient Egypt and religiously-sanctioned violence therein:
Robert Ritner, The Mechanics of Ancient Egyptian Magical Practice
Kerry Muhlestein, Violence in the Service of Order: the Religious Framework for Sanctioned Killing in Ancient Egypt
