In Sacrifice in Modernity: Community, Ritual, Identity it is demonstrated how sacrificial themes remain an essential element in our post-modern society. The shaping of community, performing rituals and the search for identity, three main characteristics of traditional sacrifice, are dynamics of our modern times as well which cannot be understood without sacrificial awareness. This is demonstrated in such areas as the German poet Hölderlin, Harry Potter, martyrdom, the Twilight Saga, the Japanese writer Endo, Tarkovsky, movies and more.Studies in theology and religion ;v. 22.SacrificeConduct of lifeCivilization, ModernSacrifice.Conduct of life.Civilization, Modern.203/.4Duyndam JoachimKorte Anne-MariePoorthuis MarcelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910525893003321Sacrifice in modernity2772237UNINA
