Nehemiah Bibliography

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007 | General

Yesterday I mentioned our Nehemiah sermon series. I want to give credit to the resources I used in sermon preparation. All of these books proved helpful as I read the pertinent sections each week. I must admit that I depended most heavily on Raymond Brown’s commentary. I often borrowed from Brown’s well worded phrases, insights, and organization. If you plan to teach, preach, or study the Book of Nehemiah you will not regret purchasing this resource.

I also enjoyed reading John White’s book. Both Packer and Boice quoted from John White on numerous occasions throughout their two works. These three, along with Getz’s bible study formatted work, appealed to more of a popular level audience while Kidner, Fensham, Breneman and Williamson took a little more of an academic approach. All of the books helped to give a well rounded treatment of Nehemiah.

Brother,

You could also add the work of Dr. Stephen Davey to your list. His book I believe is enttitled, Memoirs of an Ordinary Man. Great for illustrations & good application. Maybe you can use it next time around. He is a DTS grad, and Pres. of Shepherds Theological Seminary in Cary, NC. If interested, his website is http://www.wisdomonline.com.
