Dust to Glory 24

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah complete the historical record of the Old

Testament. They recount the story of the exiles’ return to their homeland in a climate

of national celebration. Ezra led a group of exiles to rebuild the temple of the Lord

and Nehemiah led a group to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Yet both leaders under-

stood that reconstructing buildings would not restore the nation’s fortunes or God’s

blessings. Spiritual reconstruction was just as important as building reconstruction.

In this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
