It was a death to make way for a rebirth.\u003c\/b\u003e The closely related books of Ezra and Nehemiah chart the Jews' return from exile to Jerusalem and the beginnings of that rebirth. As the drama unfolds, Geert Lorein explains, we see the good hand of God at work throughit all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTyndale Old Testament Commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The \u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose. Following a structural \u003ci\u003eAnalysis\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eCommentary\u003c\/i\u003e takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. \u003ci\u003eAdditional Notes\u003c\/i\u003e provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: \u003ci\u003eContext, Comment\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMeaning\u003c\/i\u003e. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geert Lorein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40699228717105,"sku":"9781514005408","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9781514005408.jpg?v=1781102407","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9781514005408_ezra-and-nehemiah","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
