What is sacrifice? For many people today the word has negative
overtones, suggesting loss, or death, or violence. But in
religions, ancient and modern, the word is linked primarily to
joyous feasting which puts people in touch with the deepest
realities. How has that change of meaning come about? What effect
does it have on the way we think about Christianity? How does it
affect the way Christian believers think about themselves and God?
John Dunnill's study focuses on sacrifice as a physical event
uniting worshippers to deity. Bringing together insights from
social anthropology, biblical studies and Trinitarian theology,
Dunnill links to debates in sociology and cultural studies, as well
as the study of liturgy. Through a positive view of sacrifice,
Dunnill contributes to contemporary Christian debates on atonement
and salvation.
