Together they explain the history behind the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. They talk about Cyrus and the return from exile into Jerusalem and the efforts to rebuild the temple and the walls. They talk about Ezra and trying to keep the covenant. Then Kerry and Christina Olson explore how the exile and the return formed the identity of the Jews that we will see for the rest of the Old Testament and the New Testament.
