Synopsis: Blood sacrifice, the ritual slaughter of animals, has been basic to religion through history, so that it survives in spiritualized form even in Christianity. How did this violent phenomenon achieve the status of the sacred? This question is examined in Walter Burkert's famous study.
From the Inside Flap:

"This book is a professional classic, an absolute must for any serious student of Greek religion."―Albert Henrichs, Harvard University
