COBISS.SI-ID: 8745472The conference took place in the Home of St. Joseph in Celje and lasted three days. Its program consisted of 36 papers of speakers from nine countries: Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Romania, Ukraine and Iran. Among them were experts from the areas of theology, religious studies, philosophy, (intellectual) history, (social) psychology and psychotherapy and science of education. Sacrifice is connected with the origins of human culture and its transformations. The crucial interconnection between the role that sacrifice played in the emergence of human culture, and the role it plays in the modern globalized world, menaced by perplex politics and terrorism, is the reason why sacrifice has been chosen as the topic of this conference. The papers can be divided in three groups: 1) biblical-theological aspects of sacrifice; 2) sacrifice and philosophical-ethical-educative anthropology; 3) historical and socio-political perspectives of sacrifice. Both presidents - of the program and of the organizing committee - were from our group: Petkovšek and Žalec. The organizer was Faculty of Theology, University of Ljubljana.
