The books of Ezra-Nehemiah and 1 Esdras tell the story of the
Judean return from exile in Babylon, of rebuilding the temple, and
of creating a new community in Zion. For scholars and students
trying to understand the Second Temple period, there are no other
contemporary narratives available, giving these books prime
importance. In "Was 1 Esdras First?" world-renowned scholars fully
discuss, without arriving at a consensus, the relationship between
Ezra-Nehemiah and 1 Esdras. In addition, they delve into these
books dates and methods of composition, the sources used, their
respective historical and social milieus, their original languages,
and their authority and status in antiquity. This collection adds
to our understanding of the history of Second Temple Judah, the
formation of early Judaism, and the processes by which biblical
books were composed. The contributors are Lisbeth S. Fried, Deirdre
N. Fulton and Gary N. Knoppers, Lester L. Grabbe, Adrian Schenker,
Bob Becking, Kristin De Troyer, Juha Pakkala, Zipora Talshir, James
C. VanderKam, Jacob L. Wright, Sebastian Gr tz, Paul B. Harvey Jr.,
Sylvie Honigman, Sara Japhet, Ralph W. Klein, and H. G. M.
Williamson.
