Comentário ao livro bíblico de Esdras. A ênfase é ao aspecto histórico como definidor para a melhor leituras e interpretação da obra que relata o retorno e a reconstrução do templo de Jerusalém destr

Miqueias foi um profeta do sul (Judá) que atuou entre os anos 735 a 690 e foi testemunha do fim do reino do norte (Israel). Ele pregou aos dois reinos, mas sobretudo aos sulistas como ele, que era de Moresete, a 30km de Jerusalem. Logo, no pode ser confundido com Micaias, filho de Inla (1Reis 22.8-28 e 2 Cronicas 18.3-27), que viveu quase 100 anos antes no reino do norte ao tempo do rei Acabe (873-853).Durante seus dias, os reis assirios atemorizavam a regio em que vivia. Um deles, Tiglate Pileser pilhou toda a regio filisteia em 734, incluindo o norte de Israel. Com sua poderosa maquina de guerra, ele tornou seus vassalos os reinos da Filistia, Israel, Amom, Moabe, Edom e Juda.

In this volume he attempted to take up a few of the most characteristic points in Jewish doctrine and practice, and to explain the various phases through which they have passed, since the first centuries of the Christian era.It is here followed by "Chapters on Jewish Literature", a work which has been compiled with the definite aim of providing an elementary manual designed for those who may wish to master some of the leading characteristics of the subject, without burdening themselves with too many details and dates.
