The Prophets Speak on Forced Migration This collection of essays explores the impact of forced migration on prophetic literature in the Hebrew Bible. Scholars examine the role of geographical displacement, social identity, trauma, and theological diversification in shaping the prophets' messages. By applying a range of approaches, including rhetorical analysis and trauma studies, contributors shed new light on the history of Israelite religion and early Judaism. The book features an introductory essay that sets the stage for the collection, as well as ten essays that delve into the specifics of exile in biblical literature. These essays offer a thorough and nuanced understanding of the issues and problems related to historical and cultural features of exile in biblical literature. This valuable resource is a valuable addition to any study of the Hebrew Bible and early Judaism.
