EZRA, NEHEMIAH & ESTHER:
Preaching the Word series
By Wallace Benn
Crossway. 224 pages. £22.99
ISBN 978 1 433 573 491

At their best, IVP’s ‘The Bible Speaks Today’ commentaries were warm, faithful and devotional guides to every book of the Bible. They are a little dated today, so it is with pleasure I worked my way through Wallace Benn’s new ‘Preaching the Word’ commentary on Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther.

It stands in that same excellent tradition of warmth (written in an engaging and friendly way), faithfulness (dealing fairly and accurately with the text) and devotion (speaking to my heart rather than seeking to provide a verse by verse analysis).
