Theology of the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah

Informationen zum Autor Roger S. Nam is Professor of Hebrew Bible at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. He is the author of Portrayals of Economic Exchange in the Book of Kings and a commentary on Ezra-Nehemiah in the Old Testament Library Series. Klappentext The theology of Ezra-Nehemiah centers on the return migration of the Judeans to become a faithful community in diaspora. Zusammenfassung Roger Nam offers a compelling argument in this volume regarding the theology of Ezra-Nehemiah: that the Judeans' return migration, which extended over several generations, had a totalizing effect on the people. Nam explores the book's prominent theological themes, such as trauma, power, and identity, which take on a nuanced expression in diaspora.
