<br/><br/> The study of Ezra-Nehemiah has been revolutionized in recent years by a growing rejection of the long-established belief that it was composed as part of the Chronicler's work. That shift in scholarly paradigms has re-opened many questions of origin and purpose, and this thesis attempts to establish an answer to the most important of these: the question of authorship. Here, Kyungjin Min argues that Ezra-Nehemiah most likely originated in a Levitical group that received Persian backing during the late-fifth century BCE and that valued the ideologies of decentralization of power, unity and cooperation among social groups, and dissatisfaction with the religious status quo.  https://www.amazon.com/Levitical-Authorship-Ezra-Nehemiah-Library-Testament/dp/0567082261/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9780567082268&qid=1636139510&sr=8-1
