The books of Ezra and Nehemiah are commonly the least studied of the Old Testament Histories. Rev. Dr. Andrew E. Steinmann humbly seeks to remedy this, by offering a comprehensive, original translation of both books. From the rebuilding of the temple in Ezra to the creation of the wall of Jerusalem in Nehemian, this commentary highlights the watershed events in the post-exilic history of Israel presented in these books along with their implications for teaching and preaching today. Steinmann gives particular attention to the themes of ceremonial holiness and Israel's received holiness as the nation set apart by God.EssaysOne Book or Two: Theories about the Unity of Ezra and NehemiahLaw and Gospel in Ezra and NehemiahLuther on Ezra and NehemiahOrigins of SamaritanismThe Wall of Jerusalem in Nehemiah's DayAbout the seriesThe Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text.

Throughout the narrative of David's life, the promise of the Son of David is proclaimed again and again. As the lowly shepherd from Bethlehem is anointed to be king of Israel, we are given a Christological type that foreshadows the life, ministry, and eternal reign of the crucified and risen Jesus. Even David's notorious sins serve to demonstrate the forgiveness God freely bestows on us through David's Son and Lord.

The Concordia Commentary series enables pastors, professors, and teachers to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the biblical text. The series covers all of the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments.

A theological exposition of sacred scripture.

Daniel confesses of the Lord, "he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him." (2:22) This is good council for any serious interpretation of the Scriptures. Through His clear Word, God reveals truths about himself not gnostic riddles for the faithful to solve. In this commentary, Steinmann identifies themes of God as the powerful protector of his people, of the uselessness of idols and false gods, and of the integrity of faith. Against those who would make unwarranted mystic interpretations of the visions in Daniel, Steinmann takes a measured exegetical approach, firmly committed to the principle that obscure passages of Scripture can be faithfully interpreted by clearer passages and attention to the original languagesFeaturesOverview of the Law and Gospel in DanielArguments for a traditional date and authorship for DanielAnalysis of the interlocked chiastic structure of Daniel as a synthesis of visionary and narrative genresAn overview and rebuttal of dispensational and premillennial interpretations of Daniels visions.Additional EssaysThe Messiah in Daniel: An OverviewDaniel's View of the ExileThe Lutheran Confessions on the Anti-Christ in DanielAbout the seriesThe Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text.

Fundamental Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, Second Edition is a textbook and Biblical study resource for university and seminary students, pastors, and Bible scholars that provides a clear and concise introduction to the study of biblical Hebrew, the primary language of the Old Testament, and Aramaic, the language that Christ spoke in His daily interactions.Each chapter presents vocabulary, morphology, and syntax in a logical progression. Additional resources include translation and reading exercises, paradigm charts, and glossaries.This second edition clarifies and expands explanations and exercises, and expands the presentation of the Hebrew stems.The fundamental biblical Hebrew is organized in a manner that facilitates learning and serves as an easy-to-use reference tool, including vocabulary, morphology, and syntax. While it serves as a basic Hebrew textbook and grammar for the purpose of theological study, it is useful for college, university, and seminary courses, as well as a desk reference for pastors engaged in the study of the Bible in its original language.The Hebrew section also includes translation and reading exercises, a full set of verb paradigm charts (regular and irregular), and a Hebrew-to-English glossary.The fundamental biblical Aramaic section follows the Hebrew text. While it is not designed to introduce other Aramaic dialects, such as Old Aramaic, Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, Palmyrene, or Nabatean, it is written so that the advanced student who wishes to pursue further study by exploring ancient Aramaic dialects may do so. To that end, from time to time, reference is made to the historical developments in ancient Aramaic.This grammar concentrates on biblical Aramaic, primarily emphasizing the grammatical features the student needs to understand in order to read. Its structure allows the student to finish the grammar and to progress on to reading the actual Biblical texts in a typical semester. All the exercises, with the exception of the beginning ones, are drawn from the Bible, exposing the student to actual biblical Aramaic while learning the grammar.
