Where is God's place in Biblical Thought?

For centuries, Israel’s prophets chastised, begged, and cajoled Israel to stop worshipping foreign gods, to no avail. And yet, upon their return from Babylon, a short seventy years after the destruction of the first temple, the returnees to Judea were exclusive monotheists, as were, with rare exceptions, all subsequent generations of Jews. What accounts for that sudden, long-awaited shift in thinking and practice? Come explore those ways in which Biblical theology evolved in the context of, and in reaction to, the historical and cultural realities that Israel faced throughout the first temple and early post-exilic period.
