Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther is a historical and exegetical book authored by Walter Frederic Adeney in 1893. The book provides a detailed analysis of the biblical books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, which are part of the Old Testament. Adeney explores the historical background, literary structure, and theological themes of each book, offering insights into the cultural and religious contexts in which they were written. The book is divided into three parts, with each part focusing on one of the three biblical books. In the first part, Adeney examines the book of Ezra, which recounts the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem and the restoration of Jewish worship following the Babylonian exile. He discusses the role of Ezra as a priest and scribe, the challenges faced by the Jewish community during the rebuilding process, and the theological themes of repentance and restoration that are central to the book.In the second part of the book, Adeney turns his attention to the book of Nehemiah, which describes the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem and the reestablishment of Jewish civil and religious life. He explores the leadership of Nehemiah, the opposition he faced from neighboring peoples, and the themes of faithfulness and perseverance that are prominent in the book.The final part of the book focuses on the book of Esther, which tells the story of a Jewish woman who becomes queen of Persia and saves her people from a plot to destroy them. Adeney examines the literary structure of the book, the role of Esther as a heroine, and the theological themes of divine providence and deliverance that are central to the story.Overall, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther is a comprehensive and insightful study of three important books of the Old Testament, providing readers with a deeper understanding of their historical, literary, and theological significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
