The Hungry God: Hindu Tales of Filicide and Devotion 1st edition

The folklore and classical literature of India abound with stories of parents who sacrifice their children. In this book the author examines one set of such tales - Hindu texts that bear similarities to the biblical aqedah, the account of Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac.
