So I've recently been reading Summoning Spirits. It's an interesting book, but something that struck me is that the rituals in it are as Jewish as the proverbial Bar Mitzvah.

This begs a couple of questions.

1) How do people who adhere to non-Abrahamic religions perform evocations?
2) Are these rituals intended to imply that Judaism genuinely is "the truth," in a supreme or objective sense, to a greater degree than that of other religious systems?

Judaism is Abrahamic... you're off on that one. The three abrahamic religions are the ones that hate each other the most; Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

Every religion designs everything to tell people that it is "the truth." If you're reading the Torah, it says Judaism is "the truth." Same thing for Christianity and everything else. The answer is yes, but that's not something to hold against the rituals because every religious ritual does it.
