Of all the books of the Bible, I may know the least about the book of Ezra. Here is some quick background from the NIV Study Bible. This book is possibly written by the same author of 1,2 Chronicles and Nehemiah. The book was written around 440 B.C. and resembles Nehemiah.
It is very interesting to me that Ezra and Nehemiah are viewed as the same author as evidenced by only one introduction for both in the NIV.
In today's reading, chapter two provides a list of detail the exiles who returned. This can also be found in Nehemiah 7. One major theme of both books is restoration. As I am seeking to understand more about Ezra, I will share more as we read along.
