In the Book of Ezra-Nehemiah, Ezra commands Yehudite men to put away their foreign wives to avoid further defiling the 'holy seed'. What is the meaning of this warning? Are Ezra's words to be understood as a concern about race-mixing or is it emblematic of some more complex set of problems prevalent in the fledgling postexilic community? Ezra's words, with their seemingly racialized thinking, have been influential in much political, religious and popular culture in the USA. It has been a backdrop for constructing racial reality for centuries, melding seemingly biblical ideologies with accepted European Enlightenment-era ideas about racial superiority and inferiority. Willa Johnson combines archaeological data with social-scientific theory to argue for a new interpretation. In this anthropological and narratological analysis, Johnson views Ezra's edict in the light of ancient Yehudite concerns over ethnicity, gender, sexuality and social class following the return from exile. In this context, she argues, the warning against intermarriage appears to be an effort to reconstitute identity in the aftermath of the cataclysmic political dominance by first the Babylonian and then the Persian empires. This book represents a postmodern interdisciplinary approach to understanding an ancient biblical socio-political situation. As such, it offers fresh perspectives on ways that interpretations of the Bible continue to reflect the ideologies of its interpreters.

The Feasts of the Lord are prophetic reenactments of Heaven-to-earth moments. They are prearranged appointments where God dynamically encounters the worshiper with a love feast. Some of those events have already taken place while others have yet to be fulfilled. The full intention is to encourage intimate communion. The First Covenant, rich with prophetic meaning, gives a unique perspective to our understanding of the New Covenant. The Feasts of the Lord teaches the hidden meanings behind the many symbolisms represented in these prophetic celebrations. It explores the historical, Hebraic, and cultural context of the biblical period and reattaches the deep roots of our rich heritage in the soil of ancient Israel. The Feasts of the Lord inspires us to recall the blessings of God's goodness in each season celebratively and intentionally, and thereby look ahead to the next season of our lives with hopeful expectation.
