For students and scholars of biblical studies.

Holiness helps you understand sacredness in context.

You will deepen your faith and knowledge of holiness.

Discover the deep meaning of holiness in this insightful exploration by Dr Harrington, perfect for anyone curious about its significance in Judaism and beyond.

Scholars have defined holiness in many ways. These range from the vague and ethereal adjective 'numinous' to practical matters of ritual purity. When a bunch of grain and God can both be called 'holy', how should we understand the elusive meaning of this word? Dr Harrington presents an in-depth exploration of holiness in the context of rabbinic Judaism, based on a holistic yet detailed understanding of the relevant texts and Scripture. The rabbinic concept of holiness is placed alongside other notions of the sacred in the Graeco-Roman world, providing a much-needed comparative view of this core subject during a key period in the development of the Jewish religion. Holiness will be of interest to students and scholars of biblical studies, Graeco-Roman religions and Jewish Studies.
