Book Synopsis Animal Sacrifice in Ancient Greek Religion, Judaism, and Christianity, 100 BC to AD 200 by : M.-Z. Petropoulou
Book excerpt: A study of animal sacrifice within Greek paganism, Judaism, and Christianity between 100 BC and AD 200. After a vivid account of the realities of sacrifice in the Greek East and in the Jerusalem Temple, Maria-Zoe Petropoulou explores the attitudes of early Christians towards this practice, and the reasons why they ultimately rejected it.
