Ezra Overview

Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview provided by Steve Gregg, the books of Ezra and Nehemiah are discussed as being originally one book in the Hebrew Bible but were separated in the Greek Septuagint. The focus is on Ezra, who was likely the author of both Chronicles and Ezra, and led a wave of exiles back to Jerusalem to provide spiritual guidance and bring reforms. The book of Ezra is considered an important historical document that shows God's plan even in painful situations and Ezra is revered as an important figure in Jewish history and a reformer.
