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" SN - 9789004365421 UR - https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004365421 DO - 10.1163/9789004365421 LA - English N1 - Tero Alstola ID - 1738165760 ER -
