The Old Testament is a challenge even for the most committed believer on account of its size (in days of limited attention spans), cultural obscurity, and the mistaken notion that the advent of the New Testament has rendered it obsolete. Any commentator who wants to bring it to life for modern believers has a hill to climb.
Dale Ralph Davis is a veritable fell runner. Covering the 23 chapters of Ezra-Nehemiah in 200 pages without being superficial or over-selective is an achievement. Restoration from exile is a major biblical theme, and Davis does well in explaining the part these books play in developing it.
