Specifications

Packed with exciting Biblical history, the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther display God’s faithfulness through trials, the promise of restoration, and the beauty of revival.

This commentary provides deep insights to help pastors and teachers draw connections between Ezra and Nehemiah, both of whom display godly leadership and the power of prayer. Then readers will follow Esther to learn how God’s providence reigns, even in a pagan world, and see how each of these Old Testament books points to the promise of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Pastor and experienced Bible expositor Wallace P. Benn expertly discusses Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther verse by verse, and provides insightful observations, illustrations, and applications.

Bryan Chapell, Pastor Emeritus, Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, Illinois

“The single best resource for faithful biblical exposition available today. A great boon for genuine reformation!”
Timothy George, Distinguished Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University

“There is a long history of informed, edifying biblical expositions that have been mightily used for God to shape and strengthen the church. These volumes admirably fit this tradition.”
D. A. Carson, Cofounder and Theologian-at-Large, The Gospel Coalition

“Throughout the Christian centuries, working pastors have been proving themselves to be the best of all Bible expositors. Kent Hughes stands in this great tradition, and his exciting expositions uphold it worthily.”
J. I. Packer, Late Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College

“The Preaching the Word series is a fine set of commentaries for any pastor. It has a great balance between intellect and heart, covering both interpretation and application. You can’t go wrong with this set. It will improve your preaching.”
Rick Warren, Pastor, Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, California

“It is a pleasure to commend this series of homiletical commentaries. They fill an enormous vacuum that exists between the practical needs of the pastor/teacher and the critical exegetical depth of most commentaries.”
Walter C. Kaiser Jr., President Emeritus and Colman M. Mockler Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
