  Presents the history of exile and restoration ideas originating at the intersection of Judaic piety and the social history of the Jews. This book describes the distinguishing feature of Jewish thought as a religious hermeneutic in which the promise made to Abraham is preserved not just as a pious memory but as a certain hope for restoration.
