Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Ezra and Nehemiah are the Old Testament equivalents of the Acts of the Apostles - books of new beginnings. Just as Acts narrates the early history of the church through the work of the apostles, Ezra and Nehemiah narrate the re-establishment of the people of God after the exile through the work of Sheshbazzar, Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah. Allen explores Ezra and Nehemiah as a single literary text made up of three parts telling the story of three missions and the opposition they meet with. Wise and insightful, Leslie Allen has written a commentary that illuminates these texts and their intended message.

The book of Esther is a story about a young girl who becomes queen. Laniak's contribution to this commentary examines the narrative as a story with many levels of meaning. Esther is about the minority Jewish community in the dependent state of Diaspora, navigating a precarious existence in two worlds, and it is about the triumph of right over wrong, of God's people over their enemies.

Based on the NIV translation, this commentary presents careful section-by-section exposition with key terms and phrases highlighted and all Hebrew transliterated.
