The NIV Application Commentary helps you communicate and apply biblical text effectively in today's context
Ezra-Nehemiah chronicles the return of the exiles to Jerusalem during the Persian Period. Empowered by the Persian authorities, Ezra and Nehemiah came on the scene in Jerusalem to restore the worship of the "God of Heaven" and the sanctity of Zion and His people. God's sovereignty over temporal powers, confession of sin and repentance, and worship according to Yahweh's holiness undergird the account. In the face of tremendous odds, opposition and betrayal, both Ezra and Nehemiah displayed selflessness and devotion by following their calling and trusting God's plan. In the commentary, Donna and Thomas Petter lead us through this narrative of restoration and help us discover how to apply Scripture to our lives today.
To bring the ancient messages of the Bible into today's context, each passage is treated in three sections:
Christian Nonfiction; History; Religion & Spirituality; Nonfiction; REL006090; REL006760; REL006850
