| Summary: | This well-researched and well-written monograph is the revised version of the author’s doctoral thesis. It seeks to understand the so-called mixed marriage crisis in Ezra 9–10 through the lens of sociological theories related to return migration. The biblical text reflects the culture shock felt by a group of Jewish exiles upon their re-migration to Yehud, and the prescribed divorces are the symptoms of their deeper feelings of alienation upon realizing that their ancestral homeland is different from what they had imagined and that the people living in it resemble the strangers in whose midst they had lived when in exile., The introduction looks at the composition history of Ezra 9–10 and its potential value for reconstructing the history of Yehud. |
