Synopsis

This book delves into the period following the Babylonian exile, shedding light on the formation of Judaism. It examines the religious and political principles that took hold during the Persian period, arguing that these principles played a significant role in shaping the course of Judaism and its eventual separation from its sister religion, Samaritanism. The author, drawing on historical documents such as the prophecies of Haggai and Zechariah, the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, and the Elephantine papyri, explores the mission of the Jews and their relationship with other nations during this pivotal era. The book shows how the failure of the Jews to embrace their missionary vocation, coupled with the rise of narrow religious and political ideas, contributed to the limitations of Judaism and its ultimate inability to fulfill its intended universal role.
