Nehemiah
Nehemiah documents the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls and the reform of the Jewish community after the exile. Appointed governor by Artaxerxes I, Nehemiah’s leadership reflects courage, strategic wisdom, and dependence on prayer. Together with Ezra, he leads a national revival based on Scripture. The book offers leadership lessons rooted in faith and mission.
Author: Nehemiah – Governor, Cupbearer, and Covenant Reformer
Tradition attributes the memoir-style narrative to Nehemiah himself. As a trusted official in the Persian court, Nehemiah used his influence to advance God's purposes for His people. His writings are practical, personal, and driven by a zeal for God’s name.
Time Period:
Biblical: Covers ~445–430 BC; likely written between 430–400 BC
Scholarly: Dates align with the mid-to-late 5th century BC; often considered part of a larger post-exilic editorial effort with Ezra.
