He shows that both imperial Rome and early Christianity capitalized on the rhetoric of sacrifice as a discursive means to craft their location, their identity, and their social power within the cosmos."--Jacket UR - http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=360299 UR - http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=e000xna&AN=360299 ER -
