Abstract

This essay constitutes a thematic review of two recent publications that utilize cognitive science to illuminate biblical concepts of pollution and purity. The review, adapted and expanded from James W. Watts, Leviticus 11-20 (HCOT; Leuven: Peeters, 2023), 31-34, sets these works in the broader context of each author's work and juxtaposes their insights with other major publications on purity and pollution in the Bible.
