Summary
Is the Holiness Code law, or rather, how do its legal parts relate to the non-legal parts? Matthias Hope clarifies the Holiness Code's categorization as law in a multidimensional way, including insights from legal anthropology. He sheds light on the interaction of legal and ethical elements also employing results of »emotion studies.« Reflections on holiness reveal its key role as a mediating element between law and ethos. Thus, the intentional blending of law, ethos, and cult becomes recognizable.
