浅析巴比伦流放归来后的犹太民族意识——以《以斯拉记》《尼希米记》《以斯帖记》为解读文本

Abstract:The Jewish nation was living in scattered groups since the time of the Persian Empire's reign.After the Babylonian exile，the Jews lost their state and sovereignty and had to abide by foreign rulers.Consequently，the development of Jewish communities in exile was gradually becoming more diverse.Under these circumstances，Jewish national consciousness needed to change so as to fit in with their current way of life.The book of Ezra，the book of Nehemiah and the scroll of Esther provide a vivid description of this period.Jewish national consciousness was expressed distinctively in these texts.For instance，the way of defining their identity，the form that their national consciousness manifested and the underlying meaning of them seeing themselves as“the chosen people of God”，are all different.By means of reading and researching these texts，this article is going to investigate the subject of Jewish national consciousness at the given period.
