A people in exile
surrounded by pagan religion
cut off from the city
cut off from the temple
cut off from the land
experiencing God’s judgment
defeated + displaced
disillusioned + discouraged
Exile was not simply displacement from the land, but it was the experience of the end of creation, the exhaustion of salvation history, the demise of king, temple, city, land and all those supports which gave structure and meaning to life.
Walter Breuggemann, ‘Weariness, Exile and Chaos’
