Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book takes the reader in wider circles from Babylon to Eternity and deals with the appropriation of the exilic motif in Jewish texts. It examines the way the exilic tradition-interpreting the Exile as a religious experience - was created by the writers of the Hebrew Bible.
