Book Synopsis The Christian Rejection of Animal Sacrifice by : Daniel C. Ullucci
Book excerpt: Sacrifice dominated the religious landscape of the ancient Mediterranean world for millennia, but its role and meaning changed dramatically with the rise of Christianity. Ullucci explores this transformation, in the process demonstrating the complexity of the concept of sacrifice in Roman, Greek, and Jewish religion.
