Synopsis "Unclean: Meditations on Purity, Hospitality, and Mortality "

'I desire mercy, not sacrifice'. Echoing Hosea, Jesus defends his embrace of the unclean in the Gospel of Matthew, seeming to privilege the prophetic call to justice over the Levitical pursuit of purity. And yet, as missional faith communities are well aware, the tensions and conflicts between holiness and mercy are not so easily resolved. In an unprecedented fusion of psychological science and theological scholarship, Richard Beck describes the pernicious (and largely unnoticed) effects of the psychology of purity upon the life and mission of the church.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: Mercy and Sacrifice Part 1: Unclean 1 Darwin and Disgust 2 Contamination and Contagion Part 2: Purity 3 Morality and Metaphors 4 Divinity and Dumbfounding Part 3: Hospitality 5 Love and Boundaries 6 Monsters and Scapegoats 7 Contempt and Heresy 8 Hospitality and Embrace Part 4: Mortality 9 Body and Death 10 Sex and Privy 11 Need and Incarnation Conclusion: Elimination and Regulation Bibliography
