Summary
The establishment of a genuinely liberal and pluralistic society in the USA and of a Jewish state in the land of Israel mark the end of the exile. But they cannot guarantee our release from the politics of exile. release requires an understanding of what that politics was like and still is, and of why the exile never allowed for a life of free, self-conscious and responsible citizens. That kind of citizenship was not value for the biblical writers. Still, they have something to tell us about politics lost and politics found.
