Description

Interpreting Exile considers forced displacement and deportation in ancient Israel and comparable up to date contexts in an effort to offer insight into the realities of war and exile in ancient Israel and their representations in the Hebrew Bible. Introductory essays describe the interdisciplinary and comparative approach and provide an explanation for the way it overcomes methodological dead ends and advances the study of war in ancient and up to date contexts. Following essays, written by scholars from more than a few disciplines, explore specific cases drawn from all kinds of ancient and up to date settings and imagine archaeological, anthropological, physical, and psychological realities, in addition to biblical, literary, artistic, and iconographic representations of displacement and exile. The volume as a whole places Israel’s experiences and expressions of forced displacement into the broader context of an identical war-related phenomena from a couple of contexts. The contributors are Rainer Albertz, Frank Ritchel Ames, Samuel E. Balentine, Bob Becking, Aaron A. Burke, David M. Carr, Marian H. Feldman, David G. Garber Jr., M. Jan Holton, Michael M. Homan, Hugo Kamya, Brad E. Kelle, T. M. Lemos, Nghana Lewis, Oded Lipschits, Christl M. Maier, Amy Meverden, William Morrow, Shelly Rambo, Janet L. Rumfelt, Carolyn J. Sharp, Daniel L. Smith-Christopher, and Jacob L. Wright.
