Ideology of Ritual: Space Time and Status in the Priestly Theology examines the traditions of Old Testament priestly practices, from a methodological and narrative perspective. Gorman analyzes several Old Testament passages to discover the impact of ritual on Israelite culture and the priesthood. He includes indexes and a bibliography.

describes the yearly ritual in which the center of the divinely created order, Yahweh’s presence in the midst of the nation, was guarded. This ritual was performed to help maintain and sustain the divinely created order and was, as such, a means by which humans participated in the maintenance of the divinely created order. How is the ritual of Leviticus 16 effective in accomplishing this? The first step is the offering of the sacrifices so that their blood may be used in the cleansing of the sanctuary.
