Word Biblical Commentary vol. 16 Ezra - Nehemiah Hugh Godfrey Maturin Williamson - U.S.A Zondervan 1985 - 417tr. Hardcover 23cm
The books of Ezra and Nehemiah are vital and significant records of times as tumultuous as our own, as Israel returned from the Babylonian captivity and undertook the rebuilding of the Temple, even while beset by enemies without and dissension within the community. Dr. Williamson also focuses on sections of these books commonly referred to as the `Ezra Memoir` and the `Nehemiah Memoir.` He notes the specifically theological purpose of such sections, in which the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple are defended against the enemies, and the leaders of Israel plead for recognition of their faithfulness to the commission given them by God through the Persian kings.
