"A wonderful, rich, and fascinating book, and a great read. Biale
explores the meanings of blood within Jewish and Christian cultures
from the blood of the sacrifices of the book of Leviticus to the
blood of the Eucharist to the blood of medieval blood libels and
the place of blood in Nazi ideology. Biale shows that blood
symbolism stands at the center of the divide between Judaism and
Christianity. This book will be the point of departure for all
future studies of the subject."--Shaye J.D. Cohen, Harvard
University
"I know of no other work that, through numerous insights and useful
distinctions, so alerts us to and comprehensively documents the
ongoing constitutive role of Christian and anti-Semitic perceptions
of Jewish existence and the interactions between them. Whereas much
contemporary historiography has become so specialized that
historians have surrendered the larger picture, David Biale's
panoramic perspective reveals the great value and interest of this
work."--Steven E. Aschheim, author of "Beyond the Border: The
German-Jewish Legacy Abroad"
