The Sanctuary of Silence: The Priestly Torah and the Holiness School

Description

Scholar Israel Knohl offers a new perspective on the history and theology of the Priestly source of the Pentateuch. Knohl claims that groups associated with the Priestly Torah appear ensconced within the Temple, operating within a “Sanctuary of Silence”, in contrast to the later Holiness School, which reached a loftier conception of God and a broader purview of faith, holiness, and practice.
