Reviews

Even if the history of an idea will always be tentative, Halvorson-Taylor's readings of these prophetic texts and her insights into the ways exile was imagined, reflected upon, and responded to in the literature of the exilic and early post-exilic periods are rich. She clearly establishes that exile was neither simply a past geo-political event nor a static notion in the post-exilic biblical literature, but a focus of developing reflection. The method Halvorson-Taylor applies in Enduring Exile presents an important reminder of the power metaphor can have in developing societal thought and challenges scholars to think more broadly about the impact of metaphor as a shaper of cultural concepts. Katie Heffelfinger, Church of Ireland Theological Institute, Dublin, Marginalia, 2013 The monograph is beautifully written. It contains an in-depth contribution to the present-day research into exile and diaspora, and as such it provides a rich chapter for a theology of the Old Testament. Willem A. M. Beuken, Biblica, Volume 93 (2012)
