Animal Sacrifice- How Religions Lend Insight To The Teachings Of Sacrifice In The Old Testament

Abstract: 10 pages in length. The study of animal sacrifice in other religions lends insight to the teachings of sacrifice in the Old Testament in that it often correlates with the concept set forth by biblical instruction. Animals have been looked upon as sacrificial for a number of religions that utilize their flesh and bodily fluids as a means by which to either stave off evil spirits or to bless themselves and their people. Religions that continue to employ animal sacrifice in contemporary society, however, have been met with great consternation and legal resistance, inasmuch as people all over the world are evolving to such a point that sacrificial ceremonies are no longer considered to be a universally accepted practice. The writer discusses animal sacrifice in relation to religion and the Old Testament. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
