Berquist provides a useful initiation into the political and intellectual history of Judaism during the two centuries of Persian rule. Joseph Blenkinsopp, University of Notre Dame This lively account of the influence of Persian history on Hebrew Scriptures, and the people whose faith they express, places the emphasis exactly where it belongs....
