Das Buch Nehemia (Leben Erleben Bibelkurs) (German Edition)

Nehemiah is a 13-week spiral-bound Joy of Living course that will help make the book of Nehemiah understandable and relevant for today. Ray Stedman is the author of the commentary portion of Nehemiah. The daily study questions are by Nancy Collins. Nehemiah takes place almost 100 years after many Jews had returned to Jerusalem from captivity in Babylon. They had restored the temple under the leadership of Ezra, but could not rebuild the rest of Jerusalem because their enemies made it impossible. Nehemiah held a high position in the king's court in Persia, but he could not forget his people, Israel. With the king's permission and authority, Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the city. At first glance Nehemiah seems to be merely the story of the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem, but a closer look reveals the story of God's faithfulness to His people and His ability to restore not only a wall, but people to a place of blessing. The message of Nehemiah is one of hope and restoration.

Joy of Living courses are suitable for both formal and informal meetings, as well as for personal study. Each lesson contains a commentary and a week s worth of personal application and study questions, leading readers to discover fresh insights into God s Word. Historical background and maps are included.
