Jerusalem in the Time of Nehemiah by Leen Ritmeyer

by Leen Ritmeyer, Kathleen Ritmeyer

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.

This is an excellent little book (part of the Carta Illustrated Atlases) that lays out the city of Jerusalem at the time of Nehemiah. The maps and illustrations are really good and serve to point out, both the accuracy of the book of Ezra-Nehemiah and how archaeology has helped confirm much of what Nehemiah writes about in regards to rebuilding the city walls.
