Light from the Readable Books 31: 1 Esdras, the Domestic, and the Divine
The relatively unknown book of 1 Esdras (1 Ezra in the Orthodox Study Bible) commends itself to us through the fathers’ attention to its central episode, 1 Esdras 3:1-5:6 (OSB 1 Ezra). In reading the young man Zerubbabel’s discourse concerning the power of women and the victory of truth, we are helped by referring to 1 Corinthians 13, Proverbs 31, Psalm 119:160, Matthew 19:5, and Matthew 24:3. God uses the domestic and ordinary things of this world to raise us up to the truths and graces that are divine.
