This study of the purification of women after childbirth in medieval England undertakes two tasks. First, it recovers and documents the rite of post-partal purification, and the customs surrounding it, as it was practised in England, from the earliest extant references to it originating in the twelfth century, to the publication of the second Edwardian 'Book of Common Prayer' published in 1552. It then examines the ways in which this rite both reflected the communities in which it was practised, and contributed to the shaping of those communities. In order to document the rite, the extant versions of the medieval rite of postpartal purification found in English liturgical books are presented and compared. A variety of non-liturgical sources provides information regarding the customs associated with this rite not recorded in the liturgical books. Informed by three fields of study, the study of popular religion, ritual studies, and gender history, this study then identifies and examines the interactions between and among the various individuals and groups involved in the development and perpetuation of this rite, and the customs surrounding it. First, the relationship between the feast of the Purification and the rite of post-partal purification is examined, illuminating the role this rite played in the ritual life of the community. Then the involvement and investment of various groups within the community is explored. The interaction between clerical perceptions of the rite of purification, and women's own perceptions is examined. In England, not only women in recognised marriages, but the mothers of illegitimate children also participated in this rite. Their participation allows an examination of medieval attitudes towards them. Heads of households are also shown to have contributed towards, and benefited from, this rite and the customs surrounding it. Finally, this study returns to the community as a whole, examining the role the revenues generated by the rite of post-partal purification played in medieval English parish politics. Nine appendices provide excerpts relating to the medieval English practice of post-partal purification from unpublished clerical accounts, churchwarden's accounts, ecclesiastical court records, liturgical books, inquisitions post mortem, and manuals of confession and pastoral care.

The term Niddah means separation. During her menstrual flow and for several days thereafter, a Jewish woman is considered Niddah -- separate from her husband and unable to practice the sacred rituals of Judaism. Purification in a miqveh (a ritual bath) following her period restores full status as a wife and member of the Jewish community. In the contemporary world, debates about Niddah focus less on the literal exclusion of menstruating women from the synagogue, instead emphasizing relations between husband and wife and the general role of Jewish women in Judaism. Although this has been the law since ancient times, the meaning and practice of Niddah has been widely contested. Women and Water explores how these purity rituals have affected Jewish women across time and place, and shows how their own interpretation of Niddah often conflicted with rabbinic views. These essays also speak to contemporary feminist issues such as shaping women's identity, power relations between women and men, and the role of women in the sacred.

"Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with other things for the purifying of the women;) Esther 2:12 KJV As you can see, Scripture gives us very little information about the spices and oils used to transform Esther from an orphan girl to a bride fit for a king. To find out more, apothecary, Cynthia Hillson, did much research into Biblical botanicals which led her to a historical study of the ancient spices transported and sold by caravan on the Incense Trail and the Spice Route of Queen Esther's day--a time when these beauty treatments were considered more precious than gold. In this book, Cynthia unveils the ancient secrets of Esther's twelve months of purification. She reveals the physical and emotional healing benefits and the timeless beauty secrets of each of the oils and botanicals that would have been used. She also explains the deep, spiritual meaning and symbolism of the whole process so we can apply it to our own lives. In addition, Cynthia makes most of these oils, resins, and perfumes available for us to purchase so we can be both physically and spiritually blessed in our own preparation to be Queen to the King of Kings.

New directions and fresh insight for scholars and students The single greatest catalyst and contributor to our developing understanding of priestly literature has been Jacob Milgrom (1923-2010), whose seminal articles, provocative hypotheses, and comprehensively probing books vastly expanded and significantly altered scholarship regarding priestly and related literature. Nineteen articles build on Milgrom's work and look to future directions of research. Essays cover a range of topics including the interpretation, composition and literary structure of priestly and holiness texts as well as their relationships to deuteronomic and extra-biblical texts. The book includes a bibliography of Milgrom's work published between 1994 and 2014. Features: Comparisons with Mesopotamian Hittite texts Essays from a diverse group of scholars representing a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and methodologies Charts and tables illustrate complex relationships and structures

"Everyone knows about Noah, Moses, and Paul. But what about Hagar, Michal, and Priscilla, all women who had a direct influence in the story of God's people? The Bible is full of fascinating, powerful, and faithful women, as well as lessons that have unique meaning for women today." "In The Women's Study Bible, respected Bible scholars draw out these often overlooked stories and reveal the lives of women at the time and share lessons for women of today. Separate sidebars cover topics such as midwifery, women disciples, and female images of God. The Women's Study Bible doesn't shy away from the difficult issues, but helps readers to understand them better in both their original context and the modern world." "The New Living Translation of the Bible uses inclusive language for humanity and where it is clear that both male and female are meant to be included." --Book Jacket.
