Ezra and Nehemiah: Return from Exile, Rebuild the Temple, Restore the Law - with Fr. PJ McManus

After decades in exile, the people of Israel return to Jerusalem to rebuild what had been lost. In this episode of Great Men of the Bible, Joe Stopulos and Fr. PJ McManus discuss Ezra and Nehemiah, the restoration of the Temple, the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls, and the rediscovery of right worship and faithful living. The conversation explores the historical context of the Babylonian exile, the influence of Persian kings like Cyrus and Artaxerxes, and the enduring importance of liturgy, prayer, and moral order in the life of God’s people. #GreatMenOfTheBible #Ezra #Nehemiah #BibleStudy #CatholicPodcast #CatholicBibleStudy #OldTestament #Scripture #CatholicFaith #IowaCatholicRadio #FaithFormation #Liturgy #Prayer #CatholicTeaching #SalvationHistory Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows:Be Not Afraid with Fr.
