The Sacrifice by Adele Wiseman Pdf

The Sacrifice is a haunting depiction of one family and its often tragic attempts to come to terms with a new life in a new country. It is a moving, almost biblical story of a father possessed by his hope for his only son; of a son who rebels against his father’s ideals, yet sacrifices himself to preserve what his father most prizes; and of a grandson who must reconcile the flaws in his inheritance.

The Sacrifice of Jesus by Christian A. Eberhart Pdf

Exploring nonviolent images of atonement-- The "sacrifice" of Jesus is one of the most central doctrines in Christianity--and one of the most controversial, especially in contemporary debate (and after the appearance of films such as The Passion of the Christ). The implications of a violent parent and the necessity of innocent suffering are profoundly troubling to many people. Are they nevertheless necessary elements of Christian theology? Christian A. Eberhart makes a decisive contribution to these debates by carefully and clearly examining the Old Testament metaphors of sacrifice and atonement and the ways these metaphors were taken over by early Christians to speak of the significance of Christ. Eberhart shows that these New Testament appropriations have been misunderstood as requiring a logic of necessary violence; rather they speak to larger Christological themes concerning the whole mission and life of Jesus.

The Sacrifice by Jessica Gadziala Pdf

There was one in each generation.Destined to leave their loved ones, their home, their coven, their way of life. To fulfill the age-old treaty with the demons.A Sacrifice.We all spoke about their fates in hushed whispers around open fires like ghost stories, conjuring up tales, each more horrifying than the last.I never thought I would become her.The Sacrifice.Ripped from everything I had ever known, thrown into a world of darkness and uncertainty, my life in the hands of creatures of pure evil.Nothing could have prepared me for the truth.Or the growing infatuation I felt toward one of my captors.But the questions remained: What did they want from me?What would happen to me once they got it?What price was I willing to pay?And what sacrifice was I willing to make to hold onto a love I never could have seen coming?

The Story of Sacrifice by Liane M. Feldman Pdf

The sacrificial instructions and purity laws in Leviticus have often been seen as later or secondary additions to an originally sparse Priestly narrative. In this volume, Liane M. Feldman argues that the ritual and narrative elements of the Pentateuchal Priestly source are mutually dependent, and that the internal logic and structure of the Priestly narrative makes sense only when they are read together. Bringing together insights from the fields of ritual theory and narratology, the author argues that the ritual materials in Leviticus should be understood and analyzed as literature. At the core of her study is the assertion that these sacrificial instructions and purity laws form the backbone of the Priestly story world, and that when these materials are read within their broader narrative context, the Priestly narrative is first and foremost a story about the origins and purpose of sacrifice.
