«Wealth of interesting ideas in this work, which will need to be taken into account by future readers of Leviticus»

Journal for the Study of the Old Testament

«I enjoyed this book thoroughly, especially when arguing with it, and commend it to students both of biblical studies and literature as giving a great deal of food for thought on the relationship between form, content and function in texts»

Hugh S. Pyper, Literature & Theology

«The thesis is set out with lucidity, charm and, above all, passion. Her infectious enthusiasm for the beauties and subtleties of this text which most readers have regarded as verging on the unreadable is hard to resist»
