REL 464 - The Inter-Testamental Era
InterNet Links
Week 3 - Ezra, Nehemiah : Restoration and Reform
Be careful when trolling the InterNet - there are some very strange sites out there. There are also many very good informative ones. As part of this course, I hope you will develop the ability to distinguish a good factual presentation from one which is merely someone's opinion and personal agenda.
Also, be very careful to cite your sources, and try to put things into your own words, rather than just copy and paste from a web page.
There are some general resources on this site, which may be of use :
Geography Pages
History Pages
Old Testament Notes
One can use Key Topics and Phrases as search words or strings in Search Engines such as MSN, Dogpile, AltaVista or Yahoo
