“…In his dissertation on Joshua, Lindeque (2001) concluded that even the book of Joshua served in its final form as contra narrative to the exclusivist view of the post-exilic theology of the Zadokites. Those responsible for the final form of Joshua 'were in all probability a marginalized, post-exilic prophetic group who were in conflict with the religious elite of the Jerusalem temple' (my translation of Lindeque 2001:117).…”

Proposing the term ‘congruent ethos’ for studying Old Testament ethics, this article indicates (in line with existing research) that opposing ethical viewpoints are found in the Old Testament. The modus operandi followed was firstly to compare the penitential prayer in Daniel 9:4–19 with those in Ezra 9:6–15 and Nehemiah 9:6–37. This comparison shows that the phenomenon of conflicting ethics was present in Yehud during the Second Temple period. Whilst the Daniel text reflects a more universal attitude, the penitential prayers in Ezra and Nehemiah propose a nationalist view of God and an exclusivist identity for Israel. Although Daniel can be dated later than Ezra-Nehemiah, the tendency to juxtapose an exclusivist viewpoint with an inclusivist one was already present in the earlier period of the Second Temple. This is evidenced by the literature of Isaiah 56–66, Ruth, Jonah, Esther, Tobit, Judith and even Joshua.How to cite this article: Venter, P.M., 2011, ‘Congruent ethos in the Second Temple literature of the Old Testament’, HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies 67(1), Art. #965, 13 pages.
