By using cuneiform documents as his sources, he offers the first book-length social historical study of the Babylonian Exile, commonly regarded as a pivotal period in the development of Judaism. The results are considered in the light of the wider Babylonian society and contrasted against a comparison group of Neirabian deportees. Studying texts from the cities and countryside and tracking developments over time, Alstola shows that there was notable diversity in the Judeans' socio-economic status and integration into Babylonian society" NO Includes bibliographical references CN DS121.65 SN 9789004365421 K1 Jews : Economic conditions K1 Jews : History : 586 B.C.-70 A.D K1 Jews : History : Babylonian captivity, 598-515 B.C K1 Jews : Social conditions K1 Jews in Babylonian captivity (598 - 515 B.C.)
