Exile and Return is a book written by Charles Franklin Pfeiffer. The book is a comprehensive study of the history of the Jewish people from the Babylonian Exile to the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. The book covers the period from 586 BC to 516 BC, during which the Jewish people were exiled from their homeland and then returned to rebuild their city and temple.The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the period of exile, when the Jewish people were taken captive by the Babylonians and forced to live in exile in Babylon. The author explains the reasons for the exile, the conditions of life in Babylon, and the struggles of the Jewish people to maintain their faith and identity in a foreign land.The second part of the book covers the period of return, when the Jewish people were allowed to return to their homeland and rebuild their city and temple. The author describes the challenges that the Jewish people faced during this period, including opposition from neighboring peoples and the difficulties of rebuilding a city that had been destroyed.Throughout the book, the author provides a detailed analysis of the historical and cultural context of the events, as well as the religious and theological significance of the exile and return.
