fascinating theoretical work
Definitely not the type of book that you can't put down. It gets dense and difficult at times, but this is full of comlicated, controversial, and fascinating views on the nature of human sacrifice and sacrificial rites and the necessary role of violence in human culture. A well-documented argument with anthropogical, sociological, literary, and theological backings and bases, this is a compelling theoretical work on communcal religious rites and why and how we behave the way we do in organized religion.
