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.
