Annotation
Burkert, Girard, and Smith hold important and contradictory theories about the nature and origin of ritual sacrifice, and the role that violence plays in religion and culture. These papers and conversations derive from a conference that pursued the possibility and utility of a general theory of religion and culture, especially one based on violence.
