Exploring the Law in Exodus, and Leviticus, this book examines the historical and cultural contexts of these legal codes. It discusses rituals related to purification from defilement, and demonstrates the ways in which the temple priests used these laws as their own code of purity and method of enforcing purity in the covenant community.

Sunday School curriculum or an irredeemably violent book?Throughout its history Judges has both entertained and appalled readers some read it as a series of simple stories about faithfulness and some as a brutal and bloodthirsty book. Heller explores how Judges can shape our understanding of our world, our relationships, and can provide a path to a deeper appreciation of the ways of God among people. Far from seeing the book as either simplistic or cruel, Heller allows this odd text to speak to us anew about God, sin, relationships, and justice.
