The Blasphemer in Leviticus: A Marginal Figure

Hosted By: Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS)

The Bible abounds with characters who transgress boundaries, for better and for worse; one of these characters who comes to a bad end is the half-Israelite, half-Egyptian blasphemer in Leviticus. Dr. Alan Cooper, Elaine Ravich Professor of Jewish Studies, JTS, explores issues surrounding this story through the lens of traditional and modern critical commentary.
