The Oxford Handbook Of Ritual And Worship In The Hebrew Bible by Samuel E. Balentine
This volume offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of ritual and worship in the Hebrew Bible, bringing together historical, literary, anthropological, and archaeological perspectives. Contributors explore core institutions and practices—sacrifice, temple and priesthood, festivals, purity laws, prophecy, and liturgy—as well as textual evidence in Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Psalms, and related texts, and situate these within ancient Near Eastern contexts and methodological debates. The handbook highlights the diversity and development of cultic systems, interpretive challenges for modern readers, and the reception of biblical rituals in later Jewish and Christian traditions.
