During the Second Temple period, the Babylonian exile came to
signify not only the deportations and forced migrations of the
sixth century B.C.E., but also a variety of other alienations.
These alienations included political disenfranchisement,
dissatisfaction with the status quo, and an existential alienation
from God. Enduring Exile charts the transformation of exile from a
historically bound and geographically constrained concept into a
symbol for physical, mental, and spiritual distress. Beginning with
preexilic materials, Halvorson-Taylor locates antecedents for the
metaphorization of exile in the articulation of exile as treaty
curse; continuing through the early postexilic period, she recovers
an evolving concept of exile within the intricate redaction of
Jeremiah's Book of Consolation (Jeremiah 30-31), Second and Third
Isaiah (Isaiah 40-66), and First Zechariah (Zechariah 1-8). The
formation of these works illustrates the thought, description, and
exegesis that fostered the use of exile as a metaphor for problems
that could not be resolved by a return to the land- and gave rise
to a powerful trope within Judaism and Christianity: the motif of
the "enduring exile."
