The topic of this essay indicates that, following the Babylonian exile and the return to what was now the Persian province Yehud, there was more than one way of being “Israel.” Third Isaiah (Isaiah 56–66) is a particularly intriguing place to explore the different notions of identity and community. In these eleven chapters, one finds an array of answers, ranging from what today we might call “liberal” to “conservative.” There are two aspects in particular that spark the controversy: the varying views of the relationship between Israel and other nations and the competing claims among different Jewish groups to being the true Israel. It is not only historically but also ethically relevant that Third Isaiah accommodates all these views within one textual framework. There is a sense that in matters of identity, every voice deserves to be heard.

Papers by Andreas Schuele
The division of the volume into the sections “Syria and Palestine” and “Mesopotamia and Egypt” reflects the areas in which the presence of Arameans or of their language, Aramaic, in the first millennium BCE is visible. Arameans (including the Aramaic languages) in Syria, Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Egypt cannot be treated as a single entity but have to be carefully distinguished. The contributions in this volume show that identifying “Arameans” and defining pertinent identity markers is a difficult task. Interactions between Arameans, including their languages, and their neighbors were complex and depended on specific cultural and historical circumstances.
