The book of Leviticus provides two different theologies related to
God's presence within ancient Israel. Leviticus 1-16 was written by
an elite caste of priests (P), and Leviticus 17-26 (H) was added to
the book to "democratize" access to God. While the Priestly work
has hardly inspired lay readers, the Holiness Writings provide some
of the most inspiring and well-known verses from the Bible. This
volume shows how gender dynamics shift between the static worldview
of P and the dynamic approach of H and that, ironically, as
holiness expands from the priests to the people, from the temple to
the land of Israel, gender behaviors become more highly regulated.
This complicates associations between power and gender dynamics and
opens the door to questions about the relationships between power,
gender, and theological perspectives.
