Keeping in mind that historical studies can offer food for thought regarding contemporary issues, the study offers a large collection of essays, relating to the biblical, patristic and medieval period and especially to the modern period. The obvious question of many in the modern world as to whether the attribute of the ?holiness? allows for acknowledgement of authentic religion outside the own religious community, deserves an honest answer and well-documented study: too easily the claim of holiness intertwines with claims of power, whether by rivalling groups within the religious community, by groups divided along gender lines, or on the level of territorial claims. It will be of special importance to scholars and general readers interested in an interdisciplinary approach to theology, rabbinics, history, political science, and much more. 410 0$aJewish and Christian perspectives series ;$vv. 12. 606 $aHoliness$xJudaism$xHistory 606 $aHoliness$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aPeople of God 606 $aJews$xIdentity 606 $aChurch$xHoliness 606 $aIdentity (Psychology)$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aIdentity (Psychology)$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aGroup identity 615 0$aHoliness$xJudaism$xHistory. 615 0$aHoliness$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aPeople of God. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aChurch$xHoliness. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology)$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology)$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aGroup identity. 676 $a231.7/6 701 $aPoorthuis$b Marcel$f1955-$01686346 701 $aSchwartz$b Joshua$01686345 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810266203321 996 $aA holy people$94071404 997 $aUNINA
