Nehemiah: A Pastoral and Exegetical Commentary

The book of Nehemiah highlights the priorities the people of God should aspire to and the principles needed to fulfill that mission. Bridging the gap between devotional and technical commentaries, Nehemiah: A Pastoral and Exegetical Commentary is an easy to understand exposition of this often overlooked Old Testament narrative. With a mixture of historical data and practical applications, T. J. Betts emphasizes the relevance of Nehemiah’s message for believers today.

‘The beauty of T. J. Betts’s Nehemiah: A Pastoral and Exegetical Commentary is that it genuinely lives up to its name. This engaging work is astute technically but also so focused on the emotional content of the text that it connects the heart of the reader to the divine Author’s heart as well as Nehemiah’s. I found myself not just informed but stirred, particularly by the way this work moves from the ancient walls of Jerusalem to my own life in the twenty-first century.’ Hershael York, dean of the School of Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
