Ezra & Nehemiah

Israel was heading home to their Promised Land after 70 years of exile in Babylon. Ezra oversaw the remodeling of the temple, and Nehemiah followed later to oversee the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem for security and identity. In the Hebrew Bible these are just one work written by Ezra. In 18 lessons through these books we find principles for life and ministry, a resource for teaching adult Bible classes on Ezra and Nehemiah. Then 4 more lessons look at Esther and Malachi, and introduce the apocryphal books from the Intertestamental Period.
