Overview

In Ezra Studies, Charles C. Torrey theorizes that the apocryphal 1 Esdras contains the genuine Septuagint translation of Chronicles–Ezra–Nehemiah, albeit in fragmentary form. He champions this theory in the following nine chapters: • Portions of First Esdras and Nehemiah in the Syro-Hexaplar Version • The Nature and Origin of “First Esdras” • The Story of the Three Youths • The Apparatus for the Textual Criticism of Chronicles–Ezra–Nehemiah • The First Chapter of Ezra in Its Original Form and Setting • The Aramaic Portion of Ezra • The Chronicler as Editor and as Independent Narrator • The Ezra Story in Its Original Sequence • The Exile and the Restoration
