"The book of Leviticus is by far the most quoted in rabbinic literature such as the Mishna or the Talmud, while it has been marginalized in the Christian tradition. Nevertheless, scholars of both traditions have again become highly interested in it for some decades now. As shown by many recent publications, the book is thoroughly studied for textual, literary, historical and reception aspects. It has often been said and written that the text of Leviticus is stable in comparison to many other books of the Hebrew Bible, and t0hat its Greek translation is quite literal. Yet, the text of Leviticus continues to raise questions, not only regarding its content and textual witnesses, but also its interpretation, history and reception. The third international colloquium of the Dominique Barthélemy Institute, held in Fribourg in October 2015, aimed to bring together some specialists of the text of Leviticus in order to advance research on its textual witnesses and the aforementioned topics. The articles collected in this book reflect the width of current research. They deal with the witnesses to the text of Leviticus in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Septuagint. They also study the book's Hebrew editing; its relation to other books such as Joshua, Luke-Acts and Flavius Josephus; and the challenge of its translation, with a case study in French." -- Publisher.

Saints in Exile studies, from an insider's perspective, the worship practices and social ethics of the African American family of Holiness, Pentecostal, and Apostolic churches known collectively as the Sanctified Church. Cheryl Sanders identifies the theme of exile, both as an idea and an experience, as the key to understanding the dialectical nature of African American religious and intellectual life, that W.E.B. Du Bois called ""double-conscious."" Sanders's saints in exile are a people who see themselves as ""in the world but not of it""; their marginalized status is both self-imposed and i

The cult around the holiness and the relics of Saint Elizabeth of Portugal is a remarkable phenomenon, not only in the field of religion, but in the artistic, literary, social and political ones as well. Elizabeth or Isabel of Aragon was a most remarkable person in her time and the cult around her holiness and her relics would know a continuing and unstoppable advance. Even before the canonical recognition of her holiness and immediately after her death, she was considered by the faithful Christians, especially those of Coimbra, a most important intercessor with God. She had spent the last years of her life in this city where she decided to be buried. The beautiful tomb with her relics, the most tangible sign of the presence of the Holy Queen, turned into an important holy place of pilgrimage. This book studies the different dimensions of this phenomenon, from medieval to modern times: the theological implications of the cult of the relics, the study of the mendicant spirituality that inspired D. Isabel, the works of art, such as the Queen's first tomb, or the celebratory literature of her heroic figure, exploring the documental sources as well, which reveal the historical, social and political circumstances of the evolution of her cult at the Monastery of Santa Clara, the College of Arts, the University and in the city of Coimbra.

This collection of essays explores how the body became a touchstone for late antique practice and the religious imagination. When we read the stories and testimonies of late ancient Christians, what different types of bodies stand before us in such stories and what do they tell us? How do we understand the range of bodily experiences - solitary and social, private and public - that clothed ancient Christians? The essays in this book explore these and related questions through stories from the eastern Christian world of antiquity: monks and martyrs, families and congregations, and textual bodies from antiquity subject to modern interpretations.
