Blood and Belief The Circulation of a Symbol between Jews and Christians Biale, David
University of California Press 2008 0520257987 / 9780520257986 Paperback Fine
Cover shows light shelf wear. Could not find any marks. Spine straight and strong. ; 0.8 x 8.9 x 6 Inches; 316 pages; Blood contains extraordinary symbolic power in both Judaism and Christianity--as the blood of sacrifice, of Jesus, of the Jewish martyrs, of menstruation, and more. Yet, though they share the same literary, cultural, and religious origins, on the question of blood the two religions have followed quite different trajectories. For instance, while Judaism rejects the eating or drinking of blood, Christianity mandates its symbolic consumption as a central sacrament. How did these two traditions, both originating in the Hebrew Bible's cult of blood sacrifices, veer off in such different directions? With his characteristic wit and erudition, David Biale traces the continuing, changing, and often clashing roles of blood as both symbol and substance through the entire sweep of Jewish and Christian history from Biblical times to the present.
