A thorough case for a later date for of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles

In this collection of essays, Israel Finkelstein deals with key topics in Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1 and 2 Chronicles, such as the list of returnees, the construction of the city wall of Jerusalem, the adversaries of Nehemiah, the tribal genealogies, and the territorial expansion of Judah in 2 Chronicles. Finkelstein argues that the geographical and historical realities cached behind at least parts of these books fit the Hasmonean period in the late second century BCE. Seven previously published essays are supplemented by maps, updates to the archaeological material, and references to recent publications on the topics.

Features:

Analysis of geographical chapters of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles
Study of the Hasmonean period in the late second century BCE
Unique arguments regarding chronology and historical background

The Movie Guy

Carefully worded conclusions

June 29, 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The author infers that Ezra/Neh/Chron was written during the Hasmonean period citing archeological data, primarily walls, and occupation of mentioned cities as being non-existent in the IA1. He infers that literature was fabricated to justify the Judean expansion, but does not look at other Biblical books such as Kings or Joshua to see if they were also composed in a late period.
