Persia in the Old Testament
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
An 8 page research paper that discusses the way that Persia is presented in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, principally in the books of Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther, the authors of scripture relate how the ancient Israelites interacted with and perceived the Persian Empire. Scholarship shows that this was a highly significant period in Judaic history, as the relative freedom allowed under Persian rule made is possible for leader such as Ezra to shape the development of the people and their religious perspective. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
