For students of religion and ritual studies.

Understanding Religious Sacrifice clarifies complex ideas.

You will deepen your knowledge of religious concepts.

Discover the key concepts of religious sacrifice through this insightful collection of classic and modern writings that will deepen your understanding of faith and ritual.
This volume provides a thorough introduction to the major classic and modern writings dealing with religious sacrifice. Collected here are twenty five influential selections, each with a brief introduction addressing the overall framework and assumptions of its author. As they present different theories and examples of sacrifice, these selections also discuss important concepts in religious studies such as the origin of religion, totemism, magic, symbolism, violence, structuralism and ritual performance. Students of comparative religion, ritual studies, the history of religions, the anthropology of religion and theories of religion will particularly value the historical organization and thematic analyses presented in this collection.
