Jill MiddlemasReseñas

NO OF PAGES: 174 SUB CAT I: Exilic Period SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: "We are so used to talking about the exile and reading the Old Testament literature from that perspective that we forget that things must have looked very different to those who stayed in Judah when their compatriots were taken away to Babylon. In this valuable survey, Jill Middlemas deftly summarizes the most recent historical and archaeological research on this Judean community before pressing on like no writer before her to recover its lost voice within the biblical texts themselves. Readers will be amazed at how familiar material takes on a new and unexpected life when understood in this fresh context."NOTES: Purchased from Amazon.com. SUBTITLE: An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the "Exile"
