This book is about holiness, a moral and theological subject of enormous signifigance in the Bible, the Judeo-Christian tradition, the world religions generally and in the study of religion itself. Stephen Barton has invited experts from a wide range of theological and related disciplines to reflect on holiness. The contributions are inter-denominational and, in several cases, inter-religious. Their comprehensive range and interdisciplinary style make then an important resource for students and scholars in theology, church history, ethics and religious studies.
