New. New Book; Fast Shipping from UK; Not signed; Not First Edition; The Purity, Sacrifice, and the Temple: Symbolism and Supersessionism in the Study of Ancient Judaism. ISBN 0195395840 9780195395846 [GB]
ISBN10: 0195395840, ISBN13: 9780195395846, [publisher: Oxford University Press Inc, New York] Softcover Paperback. Ancient Jewish sacrifice has long been misunderstood. Some find in sacrifice the key to the mysterious and violent origins of human culture. Others see these cultic rituals as merely the fossilized vestiges of primitive superstition. Some believe that ancient Jewish sacrifice was doomed from the start, destined to be replaced by the Christian eucharist. Others think that the temple was fated to be superseded by the synagogue. In Purity, Sacrifice, and theTemple Jonathan Klawans demonstrates that these supersessionist ideologies have prevented scholars from recognizing the Jerusalem temple as a powerful source of meaning and symbolism to the ancient Jews whoworshiped there. Klawans exposes and counters such ideologies by reviewing the theoretical literature on sacrifice and taking a fresh look at a broad range of evidence concerning ancient Jewish attitudes toward the temple and its sacrificial cult. The first step toward reaching a more balanced view is to integrate the study of sacrifice with the study of purity-a ritual structure that has commonly been understood as symbolic by scholars and laypeople alike.

By taking these steps-and by removing contemporary religious andcultural biases-K ...
