Ezra-Nehemiah: Audio Lectures

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Ezra-Nehemiah: Audio Lectures includes high-quality live recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Ezra-Nehemiah chronicles the return of the exiles to Jerusalem during the Persian Period. Empowered by the Persian authorities, Ezra and Nehemiah came on the scene in Jerusalem to restore the worship of the "God of heaven" and the sanctity of Zion and his people. God's sovereignty over temporal powers, confession of sin and repentance, and worship according to Yahweh's holiness undergird the account. In the face of tremendous odds, opposition and betrayal, both Ezra and Nehemiah displayed selflessness and devotion by following their calling and trusting God's plan.

Ezra-Nehemiah: Audio Lectures features scholars and professors Donna Petter and Thomas Petter teaching through the book of Ezra in 14 engaging and challenging lessons. A companion to Petter and Petter's Ezra-Nehemiah commentary in the NIV Application Commentary series, these lessons of restoration help us discover how to apply Scripture to our lives today.

Ezra-Nehemiah: Audio Lectures is part of the Zondervan Beyond the Basics Video Series, which is dedicated to bringing expert teaching from world's best biblical scholars and theologians directly to interested learners.
