  Mary Douglas was an anthropologist, not a theologian or Hebrew scholar, who devised an anthropological theory involving interrelated concepts of "group" (how clearly defined an individual's social position is as inside or outside a bounded social group) and "grid" (how clearly defined an individual's social role is within networks of social privileges, claims and obligations) and laid the foundations of Cultural Theory. Note “theory”, not “cultural science”.
  
  And, yes, an attempt was made to fit Old Testament theology into the procrustean bed of Cultural Theory.
