Sacrifice is a well known form of ritual in many world religions.
Although the actual practice of animal sacrifice was largely
abolished in the later history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam,
it is still recalled through biblical stories, the ritual calendar
and community events. The essays in this volume discuss the various
positions regarding the value of sacrifice in a wide variety of
disciplines such as history, archaeology, literature, philosophy,
art and gender and post-colonial studies. In this context they
examine a wide array of questions pertaining to the 'actuality of
sacrifice' in various social, historical and intellectual contexts
ranging from the pre-historical to the post-Holocaust, and present
new understandings of some of the most sensitive topics of our
time.
