A Biblical Theology of Exile

Daniel L. Smith-Christopher

A Biblical Theology of Exile

Research output: Book/Report › Book

Abstract

The Christian church continues to seek ethical and spiritual models from the period of Israel's monarchy and has avoided the gravity of the Babylonian exile. Against this tradition, the author argues that the period of focus for the canonical construction of biblical thought is precisely the exile. Here the voices of dissent arose and articulated words of truth in the context of failed power.
