This book provides a look at purity language within the "Epistle of
James", arguing against restricting the meaning of purity language
to the individual moral sphere.Arguing against restricting the
meaning of purity language to the individual moral sphere (as many
commentaries do), the central argument of "Purity and Worldview in
the Epistle of James" is that purity language both articulates and
constructs the worldview in James' epistle. Lockett offers a
taxonomy of purity language, applied as a heuristic guide to
understand the function of purity and pollution in the epistle.
Through this analysis the study concludes that James is not calling
for sectarian separation, but rather demonstrates a degree of
cultural accommodation while calling forth specific socio-cultural
boundaries between the readers and the world.Formerly the "Journal
for the Study of the New Testament Supplement", was a book series
that explored the many aspects of New Testament study including
historical perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and
theological, cultural and contextual approaches. "The Early
Christianity in Context" series, a part of JSNTS, examines the
birth and development of early Christianity up to the end of the
third century CE. The series places Christianity in its social,
cultural, political and economic context. "European Seminar on
Christian Origins" and "Journal for the Study of the Historical
Jesus Supplement" are also part of JSNTS.
