Title: The people of God in the night
First published: 1979
Description: In 586 the Babylonians tore down the Temple, destroyed the Temple, killed most of the residents of the city, and deported the rest. Everything the Jewish people held important was gone. They simply should have been assimilated into Babylonian society and been forgotten. Yet, despite losing everything they held dear, the persevered. Fr.Leclerc wrote this wonderful book to describe the process of that survival in such a way that the reader can reach out and taste the feelings of the people of this age and understand the degree of their faith as their religion passed from the mythology to real faith.
