Die Kapitel Esr 1-3 bilden den Auftakt einer Rückkehr-Tempelbau-Erzählung, die die Restauration der judäischen Gemeinde in nachexilischer Zeit schildert. Besonders die Herkunft und Authentizität der im Zentrum dieses Prologs stehenden Rückkehrerliste Esr 2 sowie ihr Charakter als sekundäre Einfügung sind dabei in der bisherigen Forschung immer wieder kontrovers diskutiert worden. Die vorliegende Studie bietet nun eine umfassende Untersuchung dieser Liste sowohl im Hinblick auf Form und Inhalt als auch auf ihre Einbettung und Funktion für den Erzählkontext Esr 1-3. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Rückkehrerliste nicht aus ihrem Kontext herauszulösen ist, sondern mit diesem gemeinsam einen Motivkomplex bildet, der an den ersten Exodus gemahnt. Dabei lässt gerade die Liste selbst Rückschlüsse auf die Konstruktion nachexilisch-jüdischer Identität im Spannungsfeld von Kontinuität und Diskontinuität zu.

Back cover: The biblical books Ezra and Nehemiah are not highly regarded because of a painful point. In both books, a call can be found to put an end to marriages with foreign, or strange women. This commentary wants to understnad that summons in the context of the world at that time and to show that other themes play a role in Ezra and Nehemiah. In the time after the return from the Babylonian exile Israel had to search for a new identity. It was found around the temple and from the Torah of Moses which was appropriated for a new era.

"The book deals with key topics in Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1 and 2 Chronicles, such as the list of returnees, the construction of the city wall of Jerusalem, the adversaries of Nehemiah, the tribal genealogies, and the territorial expansion of Judah in 2 Chronicles. Finkelstein argues that the geographical and historical realities cached behind at least parts of these books fit the Hasmonean period in the late second century BCE. Seven previously published essays are supplemented by maps, updates to the archaeological material, and recent articles on the topics"--
