Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinises a pivotal moment in the history of Judaism and traces the consequences of a battle over religious reform in the 5th century BC. The author shows how Ezra, a Jewish priest and scribe, returning from exile in Babylon to Jerusalem, led a reform movement which had a far -reaching impact on Jewish laws and religious identity. Faced with opposition from the ruling priestly elite, Ezra sought to impose stricter adherence to Jewish law, including a ban on intermarriage with non-Jews. The resulting conflict sparked a debate on the balance between religious purity and social harmony, with lasting implications for Jewish thought and practice. Ezra's insistence on religious separation laid the foundation for the development of rabbinic Judaism, the form of the religion that has survived to this day. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the origins and evolution of religious law and the tension between religious purity and social inclusivity.
