The anthropological approach to the expulsion of the foreign women
from the post-exilic community argues that it was the result of a
witch-hunt. Its comparative approach notes that the community
responded to its weak social boundaries in the same fashion as
societies with similar social weaknesses. This book argues that the
post-exilic community's decision to expel the foreign women in its
midst was the direct result of the community's inability to enforce
a common morality among its members. This anthropological approach
to the expulsion shows how other societies with weak social
moralities tend to react with witch-hunts, and it suggests that the
expulsion in Ezra 9-10 was precisely such an activity. It concludes
with an examination of the political and economic forces that could
have eroded the social morality of the community.
