A STUDY COMMENTARY ON EZRA-NEHEMIAH
By
Gregory Goswell
EP Books. 456 pages. £16.99
ISBN 978 0 852 349 861

This is a scholarly book; note it is ‘Ezra-Nehemiah’, not ‘Ezra and Nehemiah’. Following the ancient sources – the Babylonian Talmud, the Septuagint, Josephus – Goswell treats them as one book.

However, even this combined title, he maintains, ‘subverts the teaching of the book that would focus on the part played by the people rather than the leaders’.
