Witch-Hunts, Purity, and Social Boundaries Tapa dura - 2002 - 1st Edición

Sheffield Academic Press New and unmarked copy. Hardcover with dust jacket. The anthropological approach to the expulsion of the foreign women from the post-exilic community argues that it was the result of a witch-hunt. Its comparative approach notes that the community responded to its weak social boundaries in the same fashion as societies with similar social weaknesses. This book argues that the post-exilic community's decision to expel the foreign women in its midst was the direct result of the community's inability to enforce a common morality among its members. This anthropological approach to the expulsion shows how other societies with weak social moralities tend to react with witch-hunts, and it suggests that the expulsion in Ezra 9-10 was precisely such an activity. It concludes with an examination of the political and economic forces that could have eroded the social morality of the community. Helps support Christian Homeschooling Family.. Hard Cover. New.
