Graded Holiness : A Key to the Priestly Conception of the World

This wide-ranging investigation of the priestly cultic texts from Exodus 25 onwards explores the coherence and theology of the priestly writing, utilizing insights from anthropology and recent biblical scholarship.

Through a carefully worked out set of laws and institutions, the priestly authors sought to order Israel's life before God in a sustainable and satisfying way.

This is a valuable contribution to the growing number of studies concerned to understand and recover this neglected part of the Bible.
