Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a ground-breaking study which re-dates the temple to the reign of Artaxerxes I and considers the most cogent history of the building of the second temple. It reviews the historical inconsistencies in Ezra 1-6 and examines the likely boundaries of Yehud under Artaxerxes I.
