This is a scholarly book; note it is ‘Ezra-Nehemiah’, not ‘Ezra and Nehemiah’. Following the ancient sources – the Babylonian Talmud, the Septuagint, Josephus – Goswell treats them as one book.
However, even this combined title, he maintains, ‘subverts the teaching of the book that would focus on the part played by the people rather than the leaders’.
