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" %L 1 %K Jews %K Economic conditions %K History %K Social conditions %K Jews in Babylonian captivity (598 - 515 B.C.) %K Jews ; Economic conditions %K Jews ; Social conditions %9 Text %R 10.1163/9789004365421 %U https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004365421
