The long-held view that the Persian period in Israel (known as
Yehud) was a historically derivative era that engendered little
theological or literary innovation has been replaced in recent
decades by an appreciation for the importance of the Persian period
for understanding Israel's literature, religion, and sense of
identity. A new image of Yehud is emerging that has shifted the
focus from viewing the postexilic period as a staging ground for
early Judaism or Christianity to dealing with Yehud on its own
terms, as a Persian colony with a diverse population. Taken
together, the thirteen chapters in this volume represent a range of
studies that touch on a variety of textual and historical problems
to advance the conversation about the significance of the Persian
period and especially its formative influence on biblical
literature. Contributors include Richard Bautch, Jon L. Berquist,
Zipporah G. Glass, Alice W. Hunt, David Janzen, John Kessler,
Melody D. Knowles, Jennifer L. Koosed, Herbert R. Marbury,
Christine Mitchell, Julia M. O'Brien, Donald C. Polaski,
Jean-Pierre Ruiz, Brent A. Strawn, and Christine Roy Yoder.
Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical
Literature (www.sbl-site.org)
