Leviticus as Literature

Being a Christian, and having done some varied philosophical studies over the years, I'm interested to read Leviticus as LIterature, by anthropologist Mary Douglas. From the description:

"Boldly challenging several traditions of Bible criticism, Mary Douglas claims that Leviticus is not the narrow doctrine of a crabbed professional priesthood but a powerful intellectual statement about a modern religion which emphasizes God's justice and compassion."
