Animal Sacrifice and the Death Penalty

“An essential book that presents new alternatives to common interpretations of Cain and Abel, Jesus and the resurrection, humans and animals, crime and punishment, and other historical, philosophical, and theological concepts. Ghisalberti offers a fresh, eye-opening, truly original reading of biblical texts and related literature. The careful, innovative, often surprising juxtaposition of Hebrew and Greek sources is enhanced by a remarkably effective process of argumentation and an admirable moral vision.”

The Repentance of YHWH

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Erudite, poetic, and refreshingly inclusive, this book offers an inspired reading of intersecting biblical narratives. Moving gracefully between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, it revisits, contests, and suggests alternatives to common dichotomies: Gentiles and Jews, the chosen and the rejected, the saved and the doomed, the future and the past. An ingeniously intertextual and truly polyphonic achievement.”
