520    "A Christian commentary on the books of Ezra and Nehemiah 
       rooted in an understanding of these biblical texts as some
       of the earliest Jewish literature of the Second Temple 
       era"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "The books of Ezra and Nehemiah represent a significant 
       turning point in biblical history. They tell the story not
       only of the temple in Jerusalem being rebuilt but also of 
       God resurrecting his people from the death of exile. 
       Hannah Harrington thus begins her commentary with an 
       evocative description of these books as "the story of a 
       new Israel forged out of the old" and "the text of a 
       people clinging to their genealogical past and attempting 
       to preserve their heritage while walking forward into 
       uncharted territory." Throughout this commentary, 
       Harrington combines analytical research on the language 
       and culture behind the books of Ezra and Nehemiah with 
       challenging thoughts for the Christian church today, 
       bringing to bear a unique perspective on these books not 
       as the end of Old Testament history but as some of the 
       earliest Jewish books written during the Second Temple 
       period. Accordingly, Harrington incorporates a wealth of 
       information from other Jewish literature from this time 
       period to freshly illuminate many of the topics and issues
       at hand while focusing on the interpretation and use of 
       these books for Christian life today"--|cProvided by
