"The Expositor's Bible: Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther" by Walter F. Adeney is a thorough theological commentary from the late 1800s that closely examines the Bible books of Ezra and Nehemiah and focuses on the historical background, important ideas, and relevance to Jewish religious practices. Aimed towards people wanting to better understand the post-exile period in Israel, the text emphasizes the reliability of the historical records in Ezra and Nehemiah and highlights the unique writing styles that help the narrative, especially the first-person accounts that add to its credibility, explaining the roles of Ezra as a dedicated scribe and Nehemiah as a political leader, setting the stage for a closer look at how these key figures sparked a religious rebirth among Jewish people who were returning from Babylonian exile.
