TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine Denys the Areopagite's contribution to the doctrine of God's infinity in light of his theology as an integrated whole, and present guidelines for reading Divine Names and a comparison of Denys with Colin Gunton on the relationship between revelation and salvation history.
Abstract: This article examines Denys the Areopagite's contribution to the doctrine of God's infinity in light of his theology as an integrated whole. His writings are controversial and frequently misinterpreted because of an underestimation of his commitment to the Christian scriptures. Objections are treated, and are followed by some guidelines for reading Divine Names and a comparison of Denys with Colin Gunton on the relationship between revelation and salvation history. Denys's work is not mired with inconsistency, but is a genuinely biblical reflection on and of the multifaceted glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

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.
