In Press: Social Theory

Saul Olyan has just sent the cover of the new collection of essays on Social Theory and the Study of Israelite Religion. It is looking terrific! (Click the image to enlarge.) The back cover, also shown above, has two nice blurbs by Susan Niditch and Mark Smith. I'm very pleased to have an essay in the volume, gleaning insights into the Levitical priesthood from Gerhard Lenski's social theory.
