Designed for use by ministers, preachers, teachers, students and church leaders, the Epworth Commentaries are based on the Revised English Bible and relate the texts in their ancient settings to the needs of Christians in a multi-racial, multi-faith society.

This volume explores some of the most thrilling chapters in the Old Testament, dealing with the end of the exile and restored life in Jerusalem - examining these chapters against their original backgrounds and also as scripture for God's people today.
