Sacrifice?
VER AT The Daily Episcopalian, Derek has posted an essay on animal sacrifice in the OT. He wrestles with the most logical question (that a modern would ask), “how is killing an animal going to help anything, and why would that make God happy?” He comes to some very surprising conclusions about table fellowship.
In my head it parallels well with Rick Fabian’s Excursus: Eucharistic Sacrifice, from Worship at St Gregory’s. I commend both essays to you. It’s only September, a little early to start thinking about the Sacrifice of Holy Week, but before we get all mired in Blood and Gore, I think it worth it to think on life and fellowship.
