Jewish reading on bodily purity Note - this page is very frank in its discussion of sexual matters. I present it not as a representative of all Jewish views, but as an example of a modern application of the Bible's teachings. |

|
A Catholic view of modesty I had difficulty finding an article on modern Christian uses of biblical laws relating to purity, gender, and all that without bringing in too many other hot-button issues of our times (contraception and abortion, for instance) We can talk about those another time, but I brought this in to show that Christians have also been known to use the Hebrew Bible as a justification for various rules. |

|
Orthodox Women and Pastoral Praxis Scroll down to "Women and Uncleanness" This article deals with the Orthodox Churches, which were once joined with the western "Church", now known as "Roman" Catholic. As with the other postings, I bring this as an example of modern applications of Leviticus, neither to advocate nor criticize. |
|
|
"Can Christians Eat Meat or Drink Wine?"
This addresses just one part of Leviticus, but it represents some Christian reflections on the topic. |
