NEW BOOK FROM DE GRUYTER:
Bortz, Anna Maria

Identität und Kontinuität
Form und Funktion der Rückkehrerliste Esr 2


[Identity and Continuity. Form and Function of the List of Returnees in Ezr 2]
Series:Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 512

Aims and Scope
The character of the list of returnees in Ezra 2 has been a subject of ongoing scholarly controversy. This study offers a thorough examination of the list in terms of form and content and of its placement and function in the narrative context of Ezra 1-3. The list itself gives insight to the continuities and discontinuities in the construction of post-Exile Jewish identity.
