商品簡介
Within the larger study of warfare in ancient Israel, the 23 papers here examine the exile of ancient Israel and Judah in conjunction with the general phenomenon of exile in its various ancient and modern manifestations. Among the topics are deportation and demography in sixth-century BCE Judah, Assyrian representation of booty and tribute as a self-portrayal of empire, lost space and revived memory from Jerusalem in 586 BCE to New Orleans in 2009, a salvation narrative among the displaced in Sudan, refractions of trauma in Israelite prophecy, the prose and poetry of exile, and the American myth and the spectral Christ.
