Overview

This study of the surrender to Babylon uses an interdisciplinary approach that includes historical-critical, linguistic, semiotic, communicative, and symbolic methods. The act of surrender is seen as a ""prophetic choice"" of theological significance, representing obedience to YHWH that goes beyond the political, ethical, and sapiential dimensions
