The Neo-Babylonian Empire and Babylon in the Latter Prophets

The Neo-Babylonian Empire and Babylon in the Latter Prophets

Abstract:

This present study seeks to clarify the character and functions of the Neo-Babylonian empire in its relationship to subjugated populations, and in particular to the population of Judah. Vanderhooft investigates Babylonian imperialism from two complementary perspectives: from native sources, which project the Babylonian imperial self-portrait, and from the writings of the biblical prophets, which provide a portrait from the perspective of a subjugated population.
