Conclusion: Elimination and regulation.
"I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Echoing Hosea,
Jesus defends his embrace of the "unclean" in the
Gospel of Matthew, seeming to privilege the
prophetic call to justice over the Levitical
pursuit of purity. And yet, as missional faith
communities are well aware, the tensions and
conflicts between holiness and mercy are not so
easily resolved. At every turn, it seems that the
psychological pull of purity and holiness tempts
the church into practices of social exclusion and
a Gnostic "flight" from the world into a "too
spiritual" spirituality. In an unprecedented
fusion of psychological science and theological
scholarship, Richard Beck describes the
pernicious (and largely unnoticed) effects of the
psychology of purity upon the life and mission of
the church.
