1 In the spirit of full transparency, I must disclose that Dr. Barmash is now on my dissertation committee. However, I wrote this review prior to forming my dissertation committee, and I have not amended the substance of this review since she agreed to be my outside reader.

2 However, see Wells, Bruce, “On the Beds of a Woman: The Leviticus Texts on Same-Sex Relations Reconsidered,” in Sexuality and Law in the Torah, ed. Lipka, Hilary and Wells, Bruce (London: T & T Clark, 2020), 123–58Google Scholar, in which Wells argues that the same-sex prohibitions are only when such would be incestuous.

3 Again, in the spirit of full disclosure, Dr. Wells is my dissertation supervisor. This review was written prior to his joining the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin and, hence, prior to his agreeing to supervise my dissertation. I have not amended the substance of this review since Dr. Wells became my supervisor, nor has he had the opportunity to read this review prior to publication.
