Ezra and Nehemiah: Walking in God's Words

Reading the Bible Today Series

by Peter Adam, Paul Barnett (Editor)

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah tell of the return of God's people to Jerusalem after their years in exile, and of the heartache and comfort they felt as they rebuilt their fallen city. 
In this engaging and clearly written commentary, Peter Adam highlights the power of the word of God in period, both as it was fulfilled in the restoration of his people, and its leaders Ezra and Nehemiah, urging them to make the backbone of their new life.

Reviews

[Joseph Clarke · Rating 4 out of 5]

A helpful overview of these two wonderful books. His commentary is a little vague on details at times but applies the text appropriately.

[Douglas Fyfe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not bad. A helpful walk-through. I would have liked a bit more dwelling on the passages rather than jumping to the NT so readily. I was also hoping for a bit more on the doctrine of Scripture based on Adam's previous and significant work. Still, a decent book and a useful introduction to Ezra-Nehemiah.

A helpful overview and guide to these two Old Testament books and the people they are named after.
