Until recently Leviticus has been read, especially in Christian
circles, as part of a 'priestly' work with a predominantly
prescriptive and ritualistic agenda. In this volume of papers read
at a colloquium held in honour of Mary Douglas at Lancaster
University in 1995, experts in the Hebrew Bible, Jewish law,
comparative law, classical literature and social anthropology raise
challenging questions about the composition, context and purpose of
the book. Can it be read as an autonomous literary unit? How
significant are its unique ethical insights? Is it law or
narrative? Does it reflect actual Second Temple Period practice?
How is it related to the Mishnah?>
