Abstract

The paper explores the dynamics of exile and restoration both in the old and new Testaments through Biblical Spirituality. Paying attention to the dynamics of spiritual relation, the paper traces the Divine-human relation beginning from Genesis 3, the fall of Adam and Eve to the Patriarchs specifically Abraham. It also explores the time of the kingdom and temples leading to the Assyrian and Babylonian Exile. Taking a cue from the beginning of the Gospels, the paper shows the continuity of exile in the New Testament as it shows the connection between the Passover, the last supper, the passion and death of Jesus, Resurrection, and Ascension, and the celebration of the sacrament of Eucharist.
