God's Word: Ezra by ric gustafson
The author of this book is not stated. It has been attributed to Ezra the priest. The book covers 530 BC to the mid 400's BC. This book is about spiritual renewal after the Jews returned from exile. At this time, Persia is the world power. King Cyrus allows 42,000 people to return to Judah and settle the land. Seventy years later, Ezra returns. He teaches the law to the people because they have fallen away. It got so bad the people were intermarrying with pagan nations. This was forbidden by Moses. Ezra began to teach statutes and judgements to the people. Because of Ezra, God gave his people a second chance.
