Author Description

"Nehemiah was the great reformer who rallied the people to repair the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down in the Babylonian destruction of 586 B.C. In this guide, one of the builders of the walls (a Tekoite) leads us around the city and shows us the great work accomplished in those stirring times. Profusely illustrated with photographs of a recently constructed model, the book also contains rare photographs of archaeological remains extant from the period."--Back cover.
