Jacob's Tears: The Priestly Work of Reconciliation
Douglas, Mary (Emerita Professor of Anthropology at University College London.)
Who is Israel? Who were the priestly authors of the Pentateuch? In this anthropological reading of the Bible by a world-renowned scholar, Mary Douglas argues that the authors, far from being unconcerned with their congregation's troubles, cherished a political agenda, a religious protest against the government of Judah's exclusionary policies.
