CHAPTER

Introduction

Many religions make distinctions between clean and unclean there are permitted foods and taboo foods. Jesus had a complex relationship to purity codes.

It seems that our religions use purity codes to teach us an aversion to physical things. To learn more about the centre for action and contemplation visit c a c dot org.
