Abstract
The article is an attempt by an Old Testament scholar to engage
with a debate taking place in practical theology. This debate is about the influence
of religion and ritual on the formation of social capital. The author attempts to
shed light on this debate by looking at the two halves of the book of Leviticus, the
first half of which is dominated by ritual and the second half is characterised by a
broader communal perspective.
