Learn About Ezra: 17 Biblical Lessons To Be Learned

Ezra is written to fit a schematic pattern in which the God of Israel inspires a king of Persia to commission a leader from the Jewish community to carry out a mission. Three successive leaders carry out three such missions, the first rebuilding the Temple, the second purifying the Jewish community, and the third sealing the holy city itself behind a wall. The theological program of the book explains the many problems its chronological structure presents.

The author of this book leads us through the ""book of Ezra"" and helps bring it to life by applying it to our own lives as well as digging deeper into the scripture.

Each lesson consists of a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scripture, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day.
