The sixth and fifth centuries BCE were a time of constant
re-identifications within Judean communities, both in exile and in
the land; it was a time when Babylonian exilic ideologies captured
a central position in Judean (Jewish) history and literature at the
expense of silencing the voices of any other Judean communities.
Proceeding from the later biblical evidence to the earlier, from
the Persian period sources (Ezra-Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah, and
Deutero-Isaiah) to the Neo-Babylonian prophecy of Ezekiel and
Jeremiah, Exclusive Inclusivity explores the ideological
transformations within these writings using the sociological rubric
of exclusivity. Social psychology categories of ethnicity and group
identity provide the analytical framework to clarify that Ezekiel,
the prophet of the Jehoiachin Exiles, was the earliest constructor
of these exclusive ideologies. Thus, already from the
Neo-Babylonian period, definitions of otherness were being set to
shape the self-understanding of each of the post-586 communities,
in Judah (Yehud) and in the Babylonian Diaspora, as the exclusive
People of God. As each community reidentified itself as the
in-group, arguments of otherness were adduced to diregard and
delegitimize the sister community. The polemics against
"foreigners" in the Persian period literature are the ideological
successors to the earlier ideological conflict.
