Jeremy Thomson meditates on the books Ezra and Nehemiah that recount stories of Jewish exiles as they returned from Persia to Jerusalem. These include valuable insights into leadership under stress but also difficult passages on isolationist policies. These books address the contemporary church since they show us something of God, though not the whole picture, and their concern with community renewal provides an abiding challenge to the Church today.
John Hosier takes us through Colossians and Philemon where Paul picks up on some glorious themes, especially the Supremacy of Jesus Christ and the cross, with some magnificent practical instruction on Christian living.
