As korrektief op die tradisionele opvatting dat geskiedenis primer politieke geskiedenis is, word 'n holistiese benadering tot die Ballingskaptydperk (586-538 v C) voorgestel om 'n meer komprehensiewe beeld van die tyd te vorm. 'n Vierledige ondersoek na die Judese volk se situasie in Juda, Babilonie en Egipte word aan die hand van die politieke, die sosio-kulturele, die godsdienstig-ideologiese en die literere dimensies gedoen. Die dimensies word af sonderlik bespreek, en in die laaste hoofstuk word 'n poging tot integrering gedoen. Die krisis van die Judese volk kom in die volgende tot uiting: polities was hulle aan Babilonie onderhorig, met 'n deel van die bevolking wat Juda verlaat het. Sosio-kul tureel was toestande in dele van Juda haglik, terwyl die ballinge in Babilonie verskillende dimensies van lyding ervaar het. Tog het sommige in Babilonie en Egipte ekonomies vooruitstrewend geword. Godsdienstig-ideologies moes 'n interpretasie vir die politieke ramp gesoek word, want die Sionsteologie kon dit nie verklaar nie. Dit het gelei tot die opbloei van literere aktiwiteit wat in die Ou Testament neerslag gevind het / Traditional scholarship tends to regard history as mainly of political nature.

Thesis advisor: David S. Vanderhooft / The book of Haggai emerged from a dispute in the early Persian period over the propriety and feasibility of rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem in 520 BCE. As a record of that dispute, the book is a rhetorical artifact that displays a variety of strategies designed to persuade the Yehudite community that Yhwh wanted his house rebuilt. Theological and socioeconomic objections and obstacles to reconstruction had to be overcome before the Yehudites would accept Haggai’s call to rebuild. This dissertation argues that although some of the Yehudite community accepted Haggai’s claim that Yhwh wanted his temple built, others remained unpersuaded, fearing that the adverse agricultural and economic conditions, as well as the lack of a royal builder, were signs that Yhwh was not ready to begin the period of restoration. The oracles and narrative portions of the book are intended to counter these fears by arguing that Yhwh will provide for the adornment of the temple, bring prosperity to Yehud once the temple is built, and has already designated the Davidide Zerubbabel as the chosen royal builder. Haggai further strengthened commitment to reconstruction by vilifying those Yehudites who failed to support the temple as unclean and non-Israelite. Rhetorical analysis illumines not only particular features of the text but also indicates what theological and socioeconomic sources of opposition to temple reconstruction were most important in this period. This sheds further light on the socioeconomic conditions of early Persian period Yehud. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.
