| Summary: | Much is packed into this introduction to the study of Judaism in the Persian period, but the emphasis lies on Judah as a colonial society, and the contribution of sociology to historical work.

Many elements of a handbook, including helpful classified bibliographies and explanations of sociological approaches, come together here, enlivened by the author's enthusiasm. |
