First Published in 1981, The Idea of Holiness and the Humane
Response is a radically innovative book, presenting a critical
appraisal of the concept of holiness and its effects. It offers a
view of holiness far less favourable than the traditional one, yet
its conclusions are by no means purely critical or negative. For it
sees certain other elements in Hebrew thought as marvelously rich
and fertile, insistently reasserting themselves, but repeatedly
overwhelmed by an opposed and stronger passion for the idea of
holiness. This book is an interesting read for scholars of
religion, social history and psychology.
