Die Zerstörung Jerusalems durch die Babylonier 587 v.Chr. wird in der Hebräischen Bibel so intensiv reflektiert wie keine andere Katastrophe. Höchst umstritten jedoch ist, wie sich dieses entscheidende Datum zur Entstehung des Pentateuch verhält. Spiegelt sich das Trauma Jerusalems in den fünf Büchern Mose wider? Diese Frage wird in diesem Band von mehreren Blickwinkeln her beleuchtet. Israel Finkelstein und Lester L. Grabbe präsentieren archäologische und historische Gesichtspunkte. Internationale Experten der Pentateuchkritik bieten ein vielfältiges Panorama relevanter Themen, insbesondere biblische Historiographie, Kontakte mit mesopotamischer Kultur vor und während des babylonischen Exils, oder das Problem kultischer Diskontinuität aufgrund der Zerstörung und Wiederherstellung des Tempels von Jerusalem.
