Abstract

Pamela Barmash begins this book by exploring simultaneous submission and resistance to Persian rule in Ezra-Nehemiah; Ryan Bonfiglio examines Persian royal iconographic self-presentation as both powerful and (relatively) peaceable; Caralie Cook examines the process of literary creation in relation to the crisis of exile; Lisbeth Fried reconstructs the motives for Judeans to return from exile in land-for-work schemes; Martien Halvorson-Taylor examines the theological presentation of exile and return in Micah 4.9-14; Mark Hamilton analyses reflections of the reality of empire in Isaiah 56-66; Matt Waters traces continuities between Mesopotamian and Persian political practice; and Ian Wilson explores how prophetic books shape communal memory. The authors are aware of the multi-faceted problems lying behind the relatively simple story of Judah’s exile under Babylon. Despite these problems, the book’s goal of providing a ‘multi-media’ approach to the Judean exile (texts, iconography, archaeology, etc.) succeeds because of both the wealth of historical detail presented and the careful and thoughtful manner in which it is sifted. The discussions are consistently insightful (e.g. Barmash’s analysis of uniquely Israelite, non-Persian phrases added in the biblical quotations of the Edict of Cyrus, which would have given Judeans some conceptual space to resist Persian hegemony). eric ortlund

3.历史、地理和社会学

Pamela Barmash在本书的开头探讨了以斯拉·尼希米对波斯统治的同时屈服和抵抗；瑞安·邦费利奥（Ryan Bonfiglio）认为波斯王室肖像画的自我展示既强大又（相对）平和；Caralie Cook从流亡危机的角度审视文学创作的过程；利斯贝丝·弗里德重建了犹太人从流放地返回工作计划的动机；Martien Halvorson Taylor在《弥迦书》4.9-14中考察了流亡和回归的神学表现；马克·汉密尔顿在《以赛亚书》第56-66页中分析了帝国现实的反映；马特·沃特斯追溯了美索不达米亚和波斯政治实践之间的连续性；伊恩·威尔逊探讨了预言书是如何塑造公共记忆的。作者意识到犹大流亡巴比伦这个相对简单的故事背后存在着多方面的问题。尽管存在这些问题，但这本书为犹太流亡提供“多媒体”方法（文本、图像学、考古学等）的目标之所以成功，是因为它呈现了丰富的历史细节，以及对其进行仔细和深思熟虑的筛选。这些讨论一直都很有见地（例如，Barmash对《居鲁士敕令》圣经引文中添加的独特的以色列非波斯短语的分析，这将给犹太人一些抵抗波斯霸权的概念空间）。埃里克·奥特隆德
