- Description
- This book provides a broad interdisciplinary approach to the relationship between female blood and issues of purity and impurity. Women scholars examine blood and purity laws, especially as those laws have been passed down in the biblical literature. The contributors work with different texts, ranging across the biblical, classical, patristic, medieval, and modern, with approaches varying from historical critical to postmodern.
