Více o knize

Finkelstein's collection of essays explores significant themes in Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1 and 2 Chronicles, including the returnees, Jerusalem's city wall construction, and tribal genealogies. He posits that elements of these texts reflect the Hasmonean period of the late second century BCE. The work includes seven previously published essays, enhanced with maps, updated archaeological findings, and references to recent literature, providing a comprehensive analysis of these historical narratives.
