In diesem Buch untersucht Liane M. Feldman aus einem neuen Blickwinkel auf die Beziehung zwischen den detaillierten Ritualanweisungen im Buch Levitikus und der umfassenderen priesterschriftlichen Erzählung im Pentateuch. Sie argumentiert, dass beide zutiefst voneinander abhängig sind und die Ritualtexte als Literatur gelesen werden können und sollten.
The sacrificial instructions and purity laws in Leviticus have often been seen as later or secondary additions to an originally sparse Priestly narrative. In this volume, Liane M. Feldman argues that the ritual and narrative elements of the Pentateuchal Priestly source are mutually dependent, and that the internal logic and structure of the Priestly narrative makes sense only when they are read together. Bringing together insights from the fields of ritual theory and narratology, the author argues that the ritual materials in Leviticus should be understood and analyzed as literature. At the core of her study is the assertion that these sacrificial instructions and purity laws form the backbone of the Priestly story world, and that when these materials are read within their broader narrative context, the Priestly narrative is first and foremost a story about the origins and purpose of sacrifice.
