Two leading views on sacrifice have dominated the subject: the psychological approach of Walter Burkert and the sociological one by Jean-Pierre Vernant and Marcel Detienne. These two perspectives have argued that the main feature of sacrifice is allaying feelings of guilt at the slaughter of sacrificial animals. Naiden redresses the omission of these salient features to show that animal sacrifice is an attempt to make contact with a divine being, and that it is so important for the worshippers that it becomes subject to regulations of unequaled extent and complexity. 606 $aAnimal sacrifice$zGreece 606 $aAnimal sacrifice$zRome 607 $aGreece$xReligion 607 $aRome$xReligion 615 0$aAnimal sacrifice 615 0$aAnimal sacrifice 676 $a292.3/4 700 $aNaiden$b F.
