520    "Blood for Thought delves into a relatively unexplored 
       area of rabbinic literature: the vast corpus of laws, 
       regulations, and instructions pertaining to sacrificial 
       rituals. Mira Balberg traces and analyzes the ways in 
       which the early rabbis interpreted and conceived of 
       biblical sacrifices, reinventing them as a site through 
       which to negotiate intellectual, cultural, and religious 
       trends and practices in their surrounding world. Rather 
       than viewing the rabbinic project as an attempt to 
       generate a nonsacrificial version of Judaism, she argues 
       that the rabbis developed a new sacrificial Jewish 
       tradition altogether, consisting of not merely substitutes
       to sacrifice but elaborate practical manuals that 
       redefined the processes themselves, radically transforming
       the meanings of sacrifice, its efficacy, and its value."--
