In the last two decades, increasing numbers of texts have been
suggested as coming from or edited during the Persian period, but
these discussions do not always reflect extensively on the
assumptions used in making these claims or the implications on a
broader scale. Earlier generations of scholars found it sufficient
to categorize material in the biblical books simply as "late" or
"postexilic" without adequately trying to determine when, by whom,
and why the material was incorporated into the text at a fixed
point in the Persian period. By grappling with these questions, the
essays in this volume evince a greater degree of precision
vis-a-vis dating and historical context. The authors introduce the
designations early Persian, middle Persian, and late Persian in
their textual analysis, and collectively they take significant
steps toward developing criteria for locating a biblical text
within the Persian period.
