Witch-hunts, Purity, and Social Boundaries: The Expulsion of the Foreign Women in Ezra 9-10 - The Library of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament Studies
Janzen, Dr David (Durham University, UK)
This anthropological study of the expulsion of the foreign women from the post-exilic community argues that it was the result of a witch-hunt. Its comparative approach notes that the community responded to its weak social boundaries in the same fashion as societies with similar social weaknesses.
