This volume had its origins in a session presented to the Society
of Biblical Literature in Washington in 2006 in order to examine
the legacy of Peter Ackroyd to the field of biblical studies.
Ackroyd's work stretched over a wide range of topics within
Biblical Studies, notably study of prophetic literature and work on
exile and restoration. This volume particularly focuses upon his
work on the latter. Whilst the present work is founded upon the
papers given at the session it also includes several essays
solicited subsequently which further serve to draw the
contributions together into a fitting tribute to a pioneer in his
field.The contributions take account of Ackroyd's approach to the
theme of exile and restoration, focusing largely upon the study of
Ezra-Nehemiah and Chronciles. As a brief flavour, Bob Becking
examines the epigraphic evidence concerning the mixed marriage
crisis Ezra-Nehemiah. Joe Blenkinsopp seeks to find the 'Sons of
Aaron' before the 5th Century in a fascinating essay focusing which
picks up the work of R.H. Kennett over a century ago. Among the
other distinguished contributors are John Bergsma, Eric Myers and
Jill Middlemass.>
