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.
