This book explores the social function and meaning of sacrifice through anthropological theory and field studies. It argues that rituals reflect social beliefs shaped by context, rejecting singular explanations. The author analyzes four Hebrew Bible texts to illustrate how varying social origins influence the interpretation of sacrifice.
