About the book
"Contesting Sacrifice traces the politics and theology of sacrifice in France. Ivan Strenski contends that debates over sacrifice among Catholics, Protestants, and Free Thinkers were pivotal to some of the most profound crises in French history. The idea of sacrifice, he shows, was an exposed nerve of French political culture: a constant irritant, too important to ignore, too fearsome to think away, and thus constantly pondered by French thinkers of different ideological persuasions."--BOOK JACKET.
First sentence: Sacrifice has been one of the most contentious and divisive notions of religion and politics in the West.
