The end of animal sacrifice gave rise to new forms of worship, with a concern for personal salvation, scriptural study, rituals like fasting, and the rise of religious communities and monasticism. This book points to the role of Judaism, particularly its inventions of new religious life following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
