However, the theme of exile should not be viewed as an echo of a single traumatic historical event, but rather as a literary motif that is repeatedly reworked by biblical authors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMyths of Exile\u003c\/i\u003e provides a critical and comparative assessment of motifs of estrangement and belonging in the Hebrew Bible and related literature.
