Nehemiah: An Expositional Commentary

âThe most important thing about Nehemiah,â says Boice, âis that he was a man of God, and because he was close to God in prayer and personal piety, he was able to draw from God the wisdom, patience, skill, and perseverance he needed to complete his great task.â In the tradition of Boiceâs expositional commentaries, Nehemiah not only explains the meaning of the text verse by verse and section by section, but it relates the concerns of the text to the world, the church, and the realities of Christian life. Pastors, Bible students, and laypersons alike will find Boiceâs easy-to-read commentary an important tool, not only in understanding the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, but also in understanding how God equips his servants for their appointed tasks.
