Summary:	This book argues that literary features and ritual dynamics within the book of Leviticus enlighten each other. € The first two chapters establish that one may read Leviticus as a coherent literary work and define the genre of Leviticus as "narrativized ritual," a complex blending of descriptive narrative and prescriptive ritual. € In conversation with Catherine Bell, they present several aspects of the text that are ritualized and show how this ritualization implies a negotiation of power relations among participants. € The third and fourth chapters examine the first half of Lev.
