Author: DAVIES, GORDON F.
Title: Ezra and Nehemiah - Berit Olam (Studies In Hebrew Narrative And Poetry)
Description: Collegeville, Minnesota, Michael Glazier, 1999. XXII, 148 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Old Testament - Bible. Ezra-Nehemiah has been neglected in biblical studies, but it is important as one of the few windows into the Persian period of Israel's history, the setting for so much of the final shape of the Hebrew Bible. To know this period is to know what influenced these redactors. In Ezra and Nehemiah Gordon Davies provides that knowledge using rhetorical criticism, a methodology that reveals the full range and progress of the book's ideas without hiding its rough seams and untidy edges. Chapters are Ezra 1:1-6,'' ''Ezra 4:1-24,'' ''Ezra 5:1-6: 15,'' ''Ezra 7,'' ''Ezra 9-10,'' ''Nehemiah 1- 2,'' ''Nehemiah 3-7,'' and ''Nehemiah 8-10.'' ISBN: 9780814650493
