| Résumé: | In literary theory nowadays it is widely accepted that the interaction between text and reader is not entirely predictable. This dictum also applies to Biblical texts and motivates the present attempt to explain the reception of a Biblical text (Ezra 1-6) by modern commentators.

The reluctance of modern commentators to follow the narrative in their assessment of the conflict is explained by factors inherent in the text and in a modern readership with its own values. |
