BST: Nehemiah

God's Servant in a Time of Change.

Nehemiah tells, first hand, the powerful story of the rebuilding of ancient
Jerusalem's walls after the exile. This rebuilding, in the face of great odds,
represented the renewal of the people's faith and the reforming of their
conduct.

In opening up Nehemiah's text, Raymond Brown concludes: 'He must surely be
regarded as one of the most inventive and resilient personalities in the rich
tapestry of Old Testament biography.'

As well as vividly drawing out Nehemiah's historical and social milieu and the
contents of his book, Raymond Brown demonstrates the striking relevance for
today of Nehemiah's dominant themes: his doctrine of God, his passion for
Scripture, his experience of prayer and his example in leadership. (=
