A thoroughly fascinating treatment of Ezra/Nehemiah as an attempt to restore post-exilic Israel to the (eschatological) state of "holy people and holy land." Based on the 2005 book _Holy People, Holy Land: A Theological Introduction to the Bible_ (Brazos), this commentary goes on to trace the template into its proleptic fulfillment in the life, death, and resurrection of Israel's messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. Available to the layperson, readable at two hundred twelve pages, and sure to deepen anyone's reading of scripture. (
