Recenzje

What one wants in a book is a new way of thinking and reading. Olyan provides that here in spades. Violent Rituals brings together and illuminates material in the Hebrew Bible that is not always easy to read about. Clearly written, with a strong theoretical framework, it fills a gap between ritual studies and work on violence. It will open your eyes to things you would not have seen before.
