Book excerpt: Jerusalem--one of the most contested sites in the world. Reconstructing Jerusalem takes readers back to a pivotal moment in its history when it lay ruined and abandoned and the glory of its ancient kings, David and Solomon, had faded. Why did this city not share the same fate as so many other conquered cities, destroyed and forever abandoned, never to be rebuilt? Why did Jerusalem, disgraced and humiliated, not suffer the fate of Babylon, Nineveh, or Persepolis? Reconstructing Jerusalem explores the interrelationship of the physical and intellectual processes leading to Jerusalem's restoration after its destruction in 587 B.C.E., stressing its symbolic importance and the power of the prophetic perspective in the preservation of the Judean nation and the critical transition from Yahwism to Judaism. Through texts and artifacts, including a unique, comprehensive investigation of the archaeological evidence, a startling story emerges: the visions of a small group of prophets not only inspired the rebuilding of a desolate city but also of a dispersed people. Archaeological, historical, and literary analysis converge to reveal the powerful elements of the story, a story of dispersion and destruction but also of re-creation and revitalization, a story about how compelling visions can change the fate of a people and the course of human history, a story of a community reborn to a barren city.
Book Synopsis Rebuilding Jerusalem by : Sandy Miller
Download or read book Rebuilding Jerusalem written by Sandy Miller and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel was serving the Babylonian Empire on October 12, 539 BCE, where a great party was underway. Belshazzar, one thousand of his nobles, and their wives were drinking wine from gold cups plundered from the temple at Jerusalem. Suddenly, the fingers of a hand wrote on the wall, Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians. That very night, the Babylonian Empire fell to Cyrus the Great. The exiled prince, Daniel now served the Persians instead of the Babylonians. Author Sandy Millers Rebuilding Jerusalem examines the biblical, historical, and archaeological record of the Persian Empires relationship with Jewish exiles after they conquered Babylon. Through a series of twelve lectures, it follows 114 years of the Persian Empire, relaying the history of Persian kings who helped various Bible figures preserve the Promised Land for future generations. It includes stories of their unique involvement with the Persian Empire found in the Old Testament books of Daniel, Haggai, Zechariah, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. Rebuilding Jerusalem shows that Israel is a vibrant country today, at least in part because of the ancient Persian Empires involvement in the restoration of the country.

Book Synopsis The Origins of the Second Temple by : Diana Vikander Edelman
Download or read book The Origins of the Second Temple written by Diana Vikander Edelman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darius I, King of Persia, claims to have accomplished many deeds in the early years of his reign, but was one of them the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem? The editor who added the date to the books of Haggai and Zechariah thought so, and the author of Ezra 1-6 then relied on his dates when writing his account of the rebuilding process. The genealogical information contained in the book of Nehemiah, however, suggests otherwise; it indicates that Zerubbabel and Nehemiah were either contemporaries, or a generation apart in age, not some 65 years apart. Thus, either Zerubabbel and the temple rebuilding needs to be moved to the reign of Artaxerxes I, or Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the city walls needs to be moved to the reign of Darius I. In this ground-breaking volume, the argument is made that the temple was built during the reign of Artaxerxes I. The editor of Haggai and Zechariah mistakenly set the event under Darius I because he was influenced by both a desire to show the fulfillment of inherited prophecy and by Darius widely circulated autobiography of his rise to power. In light of the settlement patterns in Yehud during the Persian period, it is proposed that Artaxerxes I instituted a master plan to incorporate Yehud into the Persian road, postal, and military systems. The rebuilding of the temple was a minor part of the larger plan that provided soldiers stationed in the fortress in Jerusalem and civilians living in the new provincial seat with a place to worship their native god while also providing a place to store taxes and monies collected on behalf of the Persian administration.

Yet people go through life unsure whether the Bible is fact or fraud. They simply don't take the time to address this life-altering question. Some say the Bible is just a collection of stories and fables. Some acknowledge that the Bible is good historical literature, but they don't think it applies in today's world.

Some people don't turn to the Bible until they find themselves in a severe crisis. Many a person in prison, held hostage, recovering from a drug addiction or experiencing a terrible tragedy finally turns to the Bible for encouragement and direction.

Book Synopsis Rebuilding Identity by : Jacob L. Wright
Download or read book Rebuilding Identity written by Jacob L. Wright and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a fresh and detailed treatment of the problems posed by the Nehemiah-Memoir. Starting from the pre-critical interpretations of Ezra-Neh, the study demonstrates that the use of the first-person does not suffice as a criterion for distinguishing between the verba Neemiae and the additions of later authors. The earliest edition of the Memoir isconfined to a building report, which was expanded as early generations of readers developed the implications of Nehemiah's accomplishments for the consolidation and centralization of Judah. The expansions occasioned in turn the composition of the history of the "Restoration" in Ezra-Neh.

Book Synopsis Nehemiah - Rebuilding the Walls of Jerusalem by : Tammy J. Richardson
Download or read book Nehemiah - Rebuilding the Walls of Jerusalem written by Tammy J. Richardson and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-first century children crave something new and fresh. What better way to give them what they want than to introduce them to a book of the Bible that typically is not included in Sunday school curriculum? The walls of Jerusalem had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC. The walls were still in ruin 140 years later when Nehemiah came to Jerusalem. Upon hearing that the wall of Jerusalem was down and destroyed, along with the gates being burned down, Nehemiah cried. He mourned, fasted, and prayed for days, seeking God on what can be done to fix this problem. He was so upset because he cared for the people, and Jerusalem was the holy city of the Jewish people. With the walls being destroyed, this meant that the city of Jerusalem was wide open to intruders, and the people were left defenseless without the wall for protection. God used Nehemiah to accomplish the task of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. Nehemiah had many leadership qualities, such as being concerned for others and self-sacrificing. He put aside his life and his job as being cupbearer to King Artaxerexes to fulfill God's purpose. This book is an interactive series that contains skits, games, crafts, puzzles, memory verses, inductive study questions, and fun activities. The Nehemiah curriculum teaches children about making the right choices and how to find real treasures in life.
Book Synopsis Rebuilding a Post-exilic Community by : Chingboi Guite Phaipi
Download or read book Rebuilding a Post-exilic Community written by Chingboi Guite Phaipi and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
