Books read in 2021: No. 35 -- The Book of Nehemiah

published by Zondervan

Started: Oct. 17
Finished: Oct. 18

Notes: I've not read as much of the Bible as I meant to this year, but the year isn't over yet, so here's to catching up.


Mini review: To some extent this is a retelling of the Book of Ezra, and the priest Ezra does make an appearance, but mainly this book is told by Nehemiah, the governor over the Jews during the period in which the Empire of Persia ruled. Mostly this book consists of a rebuilding of Jerusalem and of Nehemiah enforcing ancient laws.
