The book explores the connections between early Judaism and the non-Jewish world, emphasizing the significance of the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem as a pivotal moment. Joseph Blenkinsopp contends that this event marked the collapse of the Judean political and religious systems, including monarchy and priesthood, which had upheld the state for centuries. By examining this earlier period, the author seeks to provide a deeper understanding of how early Judaism was shaped and perceived in its historical context.
