Reviews

Blidstein's oeuvre synthetizes ideas clearly and is a helpful work in the continuous debate about purity in Christianity... The highlight of the book is the notion that purity and impurity need to be understood as a discourse shaped by cultural assumptions. * Rodrigo Galiza, Andrews University Seminary Studies * In short, the texts discussed in this volume, along with careful commentary and analysis, are a terrific assist to scholars reconsidering the relationship between Jewish and Christian ritual practices. * Matthew Chalmers, Reading Religion *

This book will prove to be an exceptional resource on the topic of purity and defilement in the early Christian community. Each chapter is clearly laid out and traces a specific theme through its historical development, presenting a compendium of key primary sources. The chapters can also serve as standalone discussions, making the book a useful resource for specific research on the particular issue. * Adam G.
