Biblical Commentary On The Old Testament

Biblical Commentary On The Old Testament: The Books Of Ezra, Nehemiah, And Esther (1873) is a scholarly work by Carl Friedrich Keil that provides a detailed analysis of the biblical books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. The book is divided into three parts, each dedicated to one of the books. The first part covers the book of Ezra, which tells the story of the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem and the return of the Jews from exile in Babylon. Keil provides historical context for the events described in the book and examines the theological themes that emerge from the text. The second part of the book focuses on the book of Nehemiah, which describes the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem and the restoration of the city. Keil again provides historical context and theological analysis, exploring themes such as leadership, faith, and obedience to God. The final part of the book covers the book of Esther, which tells the story of a Jewish woman who becomes queen of Persia and saves her people from destruction. Keil examines the literary structure of the book and explores its theological significance, including themes of providence, faith, and courage. Throughout the book, Keil draws on his extensive knowledge of Hebrew and other ancient languages to provide detailed analysis of the biblical text. He also engages with other scholars and commentators on these books, providing a comprehensive overview of the history of interpretation of these important Old Testament texts. Overall, Biblical Commentary On The Old Testament: The Books Of Ezra, Nehemiah, And Esther (1873) is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in a deeper understanding of these biblical books.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
