This book is a meticulously researched and thought-provoking study that delves into the analysis and comparison of rituals in two distinct settings: the ancient Book of Leviticus and traditional Malagasy culture on the island of Madagascar. Author Olivier Randrianjaka invesigates why Malagasy Christians connect with Leviticus despite the apathy of the Western church. As this book demonstrates, the key unifying themes are sin, purification, and sacrifice. Profound parallels emerge between Levitical rituals (such as postpartum purification and the Day of Atonement) and Malagasy rituals (such as taboo violation, postpartum purification, and the New Year royal bath). The study highlights the universal relevance of sin, purification and sacrifice rituals, inviting reflection on their significance in diverse cultural and religious contexts."This is a remarkable book that represents a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate connections between Leviticus and Malagasy traditional rituals. The author¿s meticulous analysis and profound insights into the themes of sin, sacrifice and atonement offer invaluable knowledge for Christian readers. I highly recommend this work to anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of Madagascar¿s religion, particularly its rich tapestry of traditional rituals."¿Dr. Razivelo Mariette, Lutheran Faculty of Theology (SALT), Madagascar"Rituals for purification play a significant role in most cultures, and this book contributes to the understanding of these phenomena in general. It provides insight into these rituals in Malagasy society and their description in the Book of Leviticus in the Bible. The book focuses on religious praxis, as described in texts and demonstrated in life. Every person will encounter these phenomena, and here is a tool to grasp their meaning."¿Magnar Kartveit, Emeritus Professor of Old Testament at VID Specialized University, Stavanger, Norway

The Three Way-marks by Robert Caldwell first published in 1860.THIS little book was originally written in Tamil, under the name of ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ , and has now been translated into English in the supposition that it may be read with advantage by natives who have learned English. The ideas contained in the book being such as unlearned natives can understand and appreciate, and those ideas being expressed in a style resembling that of the Indian languages, it is hoped that the book will be more thoroughly intelligible than ordinary English books to those Hindus who understand English, but who think in the vernaculars. If this little work should fall into the hands of any natives of superior attainments who have studied European sciences and the history of the western nations, their knowledge of history will enable them to confirm the truth of what is stated herein by many remarkable illustrations, which the writer was prevented from making use of by the fear that they would not be understood, and the certainty that they would not be appreciated, by persons who were ignorant of geography and history.
