| Summary |
"The time of the Babylonian captivity (c.587-539 B.C.E.) is of seminal importance for the formation of the Hebrew Bible as well as for the religious development of Judaism. Previous studies of this era have usually privileged the perspective of the community of captives (the Golah), and the period is known as the Exilic Age. Jill Middlemas focuses on the population that remained in the homeland of Judah, and argues that, from their viewpoint, the years following the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.E. would be better called the Templeless period." "The study as a whole establishes the grounds for further work on restoring a distinctively Judahite perspective to the literature of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament."--Jacket |
