Summary "Did ancient Jews view Gentiles as ritually impure, capable of communicating defilement to Jews with whom they interacted? For more than a century, scholars of ancient Judaism and early Christianity have answered this question implicitly and explicitly in the affirmative, and have assumed the operation of an ancient principle of Gentile ritual impurity that led to a strict and burdensome policy of separation between Jews and non-Jews. In Gentile Impurities and Jewish Identities, Christine E. Hayes sweeps aside decades of erroneous scholarship on the question of Gentile ritual impurity and rewrites the history of Jewish perceptions of Gentiles in antiquity."--Jacket.
