Description
The sanctuary and rituals of ancient Judaism are long gone, yet their concepts, especially that of "sacrifice," have remained essential to the rhetoric of politics, religion, and secular culture. The essays in this volume deal with central aspects of sacrificial rituals and processes of metaphor development and spiritualization in Judaism and Christianity.
