| Title: Sheshbazzar and Zerubbabel - Against the Background of the Historical and Religious Tendencies of Ezra-Nehemiah Secondary Title: ZAW Volume: 95 Pages: 218-229 Type: Journal Article Year: 1983 Abstract: "Cf. IZBG XXX 3149. - We have seen, that in spite of the scanty material in the Book of Ezra-Nehemiah, and in spite of its literary complexity, we can still discover several meaningful aspects in which the tendencies of the author influenced the shaping of the image of the period and of its leading personalities. In order to complete the picture, and especially in order to clarify and highlight the tendentiousness of the Book of Ezra-Nehemiah, we would like to examine certain aspects regarding Sheshbazzar and Zerubbabel in two other historical compositions. These two, dependent on and continuing the Book of Ezra-Nehemiah, are known as I Esdras and Book XI in Josephus' Jewish Antiquities". Keywords: Jewish History: Old Testament Period |
