Exile brought a host of physical, socioeconomic, and theological problems for Israel. Ralph Klein examines six theological traditions of exillic theology - Lamentations, the Deuteronomistic History, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Second Isaiah, and the Priestly Writing in the Pentateuch - for evidence of Israel's response to the exillic crisis. His careful study highlights the literary legacy of Israel's anxiety and stress over the loss of its temple and its king. The author points to a theological blueprint of hope for modern "exiles" in coping with challenges to faith. —- from book's back cover
