Enduring Exile: The Metaphorization of Exile in the Hebrew Bible: Vetus Testamentum, Supplements, cartea 141

Autor Martien Halvorson-Taylor
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 2010
During the Second Temple period, the Babylonian exile came to signify not only the deportations and forced migrations of the sixth century B.C.E., but also a variety of other alienations. These alienations included political disenfranchisement, dissatisfaction with the status quo, and an existential alienation from God. Enduring Exile charts the transformation of exile from a historically bound and geographically constrained concept into a symbol for physical, mental, and spiritual distress. Beginning with preexilic materials, Halvorson-Taylor locates antecedents for the metaphorization of exile in the articulation of exile as treaty curse; continuing through the early postexilic period, she recovers an evolving concept of exile within the intricate redaction of Jeremiah’s Book of Consolation (Jeremiah 30–31), Second and Third Isaiah (Isaiah 40–66), and First Zechariah (Zechariah 1–8). The formation of these works illustrates the thought, description, and exegesis that fostered the use of exile as a metaphor for problems that could not be resolved by a return to the land— and gave rise to a powerful trope within Judaism and Christianity: the motif of the “enduring exile.”

Recenzii

"Even if the history of an idea will always be tentative, Halvorson-Taylor’s readings of these prophetic texts and her insights into the ways exile was imagined, reflected upon, and responded to in the literature of the exilic and early post-exilic periods are rich. She clearly establishes that exile was neither simply a past geo-political event nor a static notion in the post-exilic biblical literature, but a focus of developing reflection. The method Halvorson-Taylor applies in Enduring Exile presents an important reminder of the power metaphor can have in developing societal thought and challenges scholars to think more broadly about the impact of metaphor as a shaper of cultural concepts."
Katie Heffelfinger, Church of Ireland Theological Institute, Dublin, Marginalia, 2013


"The monograph is beautifully written. It contains an in-depth contribution to the present-day research into exile and diaspora, and as such it provides a rich chapter for a theology of the Old Testament."
Willem A. M. Beuken, Biblica, Volume 93 (2012)
