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."-- Provided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 27, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Sacrifice|xJudaism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2003010200 650 0 Blood|xReligious aspects|xJudaism.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2019001665 650 0 Rabbinical literature|xHistory and criticism.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008110327 650 0 Rabbis|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85110190 |zJerusalem.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n81126877-781 650 0 Judaism|xLiturgy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85070855 650 7 Sacrifice|xJudaism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1103259 650 7 Blood|xReligious aspects|xJudaism.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/834605 650 7 Rabbinical literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1086288 650 7 Rabbis.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1086311 650 7 Judaism|xLiturgy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 984346 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBalberg, Mira, 1978-|tBlood for thought. |dOakland, California : University of California Press, [2017]|z9780520295926|w(DLC) 2017013391 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1574087|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
