Does Ezra Present the Return from Exile as a Second Exodus?

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

    Abstract

    Although the Exodus-story most probably was known to the author of Ezra 1-2 he did not use this tradition as a dress for his narrative on the return from Babylon. In my opinion, the view of Gunneweg that Ezra construes the return from Exile as a restauration of pre-exilic institutions is more plausible.
