TL;DR: In this paper, a critical consideration of Robert Jenson's understanding of the church as the Body of Christ in the light of 1 Corinthians is presented, which is based on a variety of faulty presuppositions.
Abstract: This article is a critical consideration of Robert Jenson’s understanding of the church as the Body of Christ in the light of 1 Corinthians. Jenson is understood to be claiming that the church is the presence on earth of the eschatological kingdom. This is based on a variety of faulty presuppositions. But Jenson’s view of the church as a social political reality is found not to allow for a distinctive ethic. 1 Corinthians is shown to assert the priority of the Word, creating the church, and to have an eschatological morality, relating worship and church polity.

TL;DR: Purity and Danger as mentioned in this paper is widely cited in non-anthropological works and gave rise to a body of application, rebuttal and development within anthropology within the field of religion and science.
Abstract: Purity and Danger is acknowledged as a modern masterpiece of anthropology. It is widely cited in non-anthropological works and gave rise to a body of application, rebuttal and development within anthropology. In 1995 the book was included among the Times Literary Supplement's hundred most influential non-fiction works since WWII. Incorporating the philosophy of religion and science and a generally holistic approach to classification, Douglas demonstrates the relevance of anthropological enquiries to an audience outside her immediate academic circle. She offers an approach to understanding rules of purity by examining what is considered unclean in various cultures. She sheds light on the symbolism of what is considered clean and dirty in relation to order in secular and religious, modern and primitive life.
