They Shall Purify Themselves: Essays on Purity in Early Judaism (2008) is a book by Susan Haber, edited by Adele Reinhartz.

Abstract

"Recent decades have witnessed numerous studies of the role of purity in early Judaism, from ancient Israel to the rabbinic period, covering a variety of topics and approaches. The essays in this volume address three less-studied areas of this broader field: the connection, if any, between purity and the synagogue; Jesus' observance of purity laws; and, women's relationships with purity in the first century. By providing a new perspective on the role of purity in first-century Judaism, this stimulating and refreshing collection illuminates ancient practice and informs our understanding of the role of purity in the contemporary world. Paperback edition to this title is available from the Society of Biblical Literature."--Publisher description.
