Sacrifice Imagined: Violence, Atonement and the Sacred
Douglas Hedley
Despisers of religion have poured scorn upon the idea of sacrifice as an index of the irrational and wicked in religious practice. One need only think of the appalling cult of sacrifice in numerous totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. Yet sacrifice remains a part of our cultural 'imaginary'. This book explores the idea of sacrifice.
