The exile is a central turning point in Israel's construction of
the past as it is recorded in the Hebrew Bible. The latter's
concept/s of exile are involved, among others, in constructions of
patriarchal narratives, the Egyptian sojourn and slavery that led
to the Exodus, and the motif of 'the empty land' during the
Babylonian period. Moreover, ancient Israelite concepts of exile
have exerted much influence in later Christian and Jews discourses.
This volume gathers papers presented at two workshops organized by
the University of Munich and the University of Alberta.
