In April, 2008, an international colloquium was held at the
University of Heidelberg-the fourth convocation of a group of
scholars (with some rotating members) who gathered to discuss the
status of Judah and the Judeans in the exilic and postexilic
periods. The goal of this gathering was specifically to address the
question of national identity in the period when many now believe
this very issue was in significant foment and development, the era
of the Persian/Achaemenid domination of the ancient Near East. This
volume contains most of the papers delivered at the Heidelberg
conference, considering the matter under two rubrics: (1) the
biblical evidence (and the diversity of data from the Bible); and
(2) the cultural, historical, social, and environmental factors
affecting the formation of national identity. Contributors: K.
