All resources are accessible freely to guests without registration. However, I am constructing numerous opportunities for extra learning opportunities that require a name and password. For instance, online worksheets keep track of progress and notes for those signed into the site, allowing users to return at leisure and find their place without difficulty. I am also creating a messaging service that allows registered students to ask questions and receive answers quickly; that too requires registration.

To avoid abuse of our study environment and place controls that ensure legitimate participation, I am instituting a manual registration process. If you desire to participate more fully in our classroom, simply email me with your email address and desired user name; you will then receive a login password, usually within twelve hours, that will register you and give you the ability to create your own profile password for personalized participation.

Ezra

Ezra, had a royal commission that authorized him to "inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God" (v. 14). As a result, he and Nehemiah focused Israel's new identity on the LORD GOD's law brought forward from Moses. Israel was forced to focus on the form and content of religious life and practice, as the Babylon exiles returned as faithful Israelites, and reestablished their temple worship.

There were three groups of returns from Babylon to Judah. The first led to the rebuilding of the Temple of the LORD, the second was under Ezra, and was focused on reformation and returning to their covenant obligations, and the third was led by Nehemiah. The identity of the author of this book cannot be established with certainty, however, Jewish tradition names Ezra as the original author, with Nehemiah completing his work. Most modern scholars agree with this attribute to Ezra, "the chronicler".
