Susan Haber (1957-2006) was a graduate of York University (B.A.)
and McMaster University (M.A.). At the time of her death, she was
working on a doctorate from McMaster University, having already
published articles on the Hebrew Bible, early Judaism, and early
Christianity. The present volume consists of contributions in
fields central to her own interests by her teachers, friends, and
colleagues in memory of a brilliant scholar. The essays deal with
issues of central concern to the theologies of Judaism and
Christianity: purity, holiness, and identity. In the first part of
this volume the former two topics within the context of the Hebrew
Bible are introduced. The second part deals with all three within
late Second Temple and early Rabbinic Judaism, as well as in the
Christianity of the first three centuries C.E. The last part
examines the subject matter of the volume within the context of
medieval and modern Judaism, as well as in contemporary
Christianity. Although it is not necessarily explicitly stated, the
juxtaposition of these essays dealing with areas of mutual
theological concern to Judaism and Christianity implicitly lays the
groundwork for interreligious dialog and understanding.
