Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. The announcement by the Persian king Cyrus following his conquest of Babylon in 539 BCE that exiled Judahites could return to their homeland should have been cause for celebration. Instead, it plunged them into animated debate. Only a small community returned and participated in the construction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. By the end of the sixth century BCE, they faced a theological conundrum: Had the catastrophic punishment of exile, understood as marking Gods retribution for the peoples sins, come to an end?By the Hellenistic era, most Jews living in their homeland believed that life abroad signified Gods wrath and rejection. Jews living outside of their homeland, however, rejected this notion. From both sides of the diasporic line, Jews wrote letters and speeches that conveyed the sense that their positions had ancient roots in Torah traditions. In this book, Malka Z. Simkovich investigates the rhetorical strategiessuch as pseudepigraphy, ventriloquy, and mirroringthat Egyptian and Judean Jews incorporated into their writings about life outside the land of Israel, charting the boundary-marking push and pull that took place within Jewish letters in the Hellenistic era. Drawing on this correspondence and other contemporaneous writings, Simkovich argues that the construction of diaspora during this periodreinforced by some and negated by othersproduced a tension that lay at the core of Jewish identity in the ancient world. This book is essential reading for scholars and students of ancient Judaism and to laypersons interested in the questions of a Jewish homeland and Jewish diaspora. "Investigates rhetorical strategies Egyptian and Judean Jews used in their writings about life outside the Land of Israel, charting the development of the contested idea of diaspora and the making and breaking of boundaries that took place within Jewish letters of the Hellenistic era"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
