The Bible is simply a love letter compiled into sixty-six books and written over a period ofsixteen hundred years by more than forty authors living on three continents. Although theauthors came from different backgrounds, there is one message, one theme, one thread that runs throughout the entire Bible from the first book, Genesis, to the last book, Revelation. That message is God's redeeming love for mankind.By the end of Second Kings, both the northern and southern kingdoms had beenconquered.Israel, the northern kingdom, was conquered and scattered by Assyria. Almost 150years later, the Babylonians destroyed Judah, the southern kingdom, and those whosurvived were exiled to Babylonia. The temple lay in ruins, the land was desolate, andit appeared that all hope was lost for the exiled remnant. As they struggled to surviveas aliens in a strange culture and still maintain their Jewish identity, God was workingbehind the scenes in unimaginable ways. He had promised that Judah would be exiledfor seventy years. But He had also promised to bring His people back to the land. Inthe books you are about to study, you will see that God keeps His promises.During the seventy years Judah was in exile, the political world changed dramatically.The Persians defeated Babylonia and became the largest empire in the Near East. Itwas Persia that brought about an end to the Exile and allowed the Jews to return home,restore their temple, and build a wall around their beloved Jerusalem.The Post-Exilic Books were written after the Exile, to and about this group of God'schosen people. First and Second Chronicles were written to the people to encourage them in the land after they returned to Jerusalem, reminding them of their identity and heritage. Ezra and Nehemiah continue the history of the Jews from where it left off in Second Kings. Esther is a beautiful story of the providential hand of God moving to protect His people. Chronologically, the Old Testament Historical Books end with Nehemiah. All the Old Testament books following Nehemiah merely fit into the time period of these historical books.

To explore the Scriptures is an exciting activity because of the variety of opinions, experiences, and literary genres which are contained within their pages. In Inclusive Voices in Post-Exilic Judah, Anna Grant-Henderson examines the diverse and even contradictory messages in the Bible and offers hope for those people who feel excluded from within their own communities today as they discover the inclusive voices in the Hebrew Scriptures. Inclusive Voices in Post-Exilic Judah examines the concept of universalism "inclusive voices" in the post-exilic writings of the Hebrew Scriptures, especially Isaiah 56-66, Ruth, and Jonah. The radical nature of the universalism in these Sciptures is different from that in Isaiah 40-55 (an exilic writing), which has often been promoted as the epitome of universalism in the Old Testament. This work identifies differences among the texts to argue for new dimensions of inclusiveness now proclaimed in the post-exilic writings.

The book of Ezra is generally known for its negative and exclusivist attitude towards the other. Others are the cause of dread in one part of the book, and in another part they are adversarial. Furthermore, Ezra commands that foreign wives and their children be sent away. Yet the book of Ezra also features an exceptional account of welcome. In Rebuilding a Post-exilic Community, Chingboi Guite Phaipi examines what drives negative attitudes toward the other, and argues that beneath the presence of different attitudes toward the other within the book of Ezra lies a coherent foundation. That is, negative attitudes toward others make sense in light of the community’s strong self-perception in the book of Ezra.

John J. Collins’ Introduction to the Hebrew Bible is one of the most reliable and widely adopted critical textbooks at undergraduate and graduate levels alike, and for good reason. Enriched by decades of classroom teaching, it is aimed explicitly at motivated students regardless of their previous exposure to the Bible or faith commitments. Collins proceeds through the canon of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, judiciously presenting the current state of historical, archaeological, and literary understanding of the biblical text, and engaging the student in questions of significance and interpretation for the contemporary world. The second edition has been revised where more recent scholarship indicates it, and is now presented in a refreshing new format.

The aim of this study is to examine the speeches given to leading characters in the Books of Chronicles, including those which formed the basis of Gerhard von Rad's book The Levitical Sermon in the Books of Chronicles. These are compared with similar material in the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah and in the post-exilic prophets. It is Dr Mason's contention that recurring themes and homiletical devices suggest that these 'addresses' (while not to be classified as 'Sermons') do reveal something of the exegetical and teaching methods employed in the Second Temple period, which are here echoed. By studying the contents and aims of this preaching, the author tries to clarify the process by which pre-exilic Davidic Yahwism became the living faith of the post-exilic community in the challenging circumstances of the Persian and Greek periods through the careful reinterpretation of earlier scriptural material.
