We are nearing the end of our course of lectures on the literature of the Old Testament. This week, two lectures from Yale University Professor Christine Hayes, which examine the period after the Restoration, when the Judean exiles returned to what was now the province of Yehud under Cyrus, the Persian ruler. Expect a whistle-stop tour of 1 and 2 Chronicles and the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Ruth and Daniel. That last stop on the tour takes us into "apocalyptic" literature, including an eschatology according to which God dramatically intervenes in human history, destroying the wicked (understood as other nations) and saving the righteous (understood as Israel).
