The distinction between clean and unclean animals, probably
originating in tensions between shepherds and farmers, is in the
biblical laws of Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 transformed into
an important theological principle. In this wide-ranging and
elegantly written study, Houston argues that the avoidance of
'unclean' foods is a mark of the exclusive devotion of Israel to
one god. In a concluding chapter, it is suggested that the
abolition of the distinction in early Christianity corresponds to
the universal horizon of the new faith.>
