Although the Persians are seldom mentioned explicitly in the Hebrew
Bible, the Persian period (539 331 B.C.E.) gave new shape to
ancient Israel, as the biblical text evolved and the foundations of
the Judeo-Christian tradition were laid. Therefore, contrary to
earlier views, Persian politics, culture, and religion were the
setting within which the nascent Jewish community lived and took
shape. Against the backdrop of the history and intellectual world
of Persia, Gerstenberger describes this exciting 200-year period in
the history of Israel, which saw both the creation of biblical
literature (historical, prophetic, and poetic writings, especially
the Psalms) and important theological developments (e.g., the shape
and characteristics of the Jewish community, monotheism, and new
means of shaping one s world).
