Review
""I am grateful to the editors of the Quarterly for having sent it (this book) to me, and I recommend it to interested Orthodox readers for an education about the often startlingly familiar ways in which our kinfolk in the "Isreal of God" approach the Holy One of Moses and the prophets.."
-Hieromonk Alexander, St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 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 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 along 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.
