About This Book

A series of expository sermons that examines passages from the later historical books and wisdom literature of the Hebrew scriptures—Second Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes—offering verse-by-verse commentary, theological reflection, and pastoral application. Major subjects include causes and consequences of national sin and idolatry, the work of prophets, reforms and failures of kings, the return from exile and rebuilding of temple and community, as well as meditations on suffering, wisdom, and the meaning of life. Each short essay centers on a passage and draws practical lessons for personal and communal faith.
