I don't know how to find an answer to this stuff...
So my recent posts here are about the 3rd book of Ezra (the prophet) which I decided to read recently. Much of the information which is written there seems contradictory or incompatible when compared to both the 1st and the 2nd book of Ezra. The main thing is that Ezra should have lived over 150 years in order to have been both deported from Jerusalem to Babylon and return back over a century later. Although he is mentioned as the son of Seraiah who died around 586 B.C. it seems difficult to me to believe that Ezra survived that long. Many people say that this work is classified as pseudepigrapha and that it was written much later (even after the New Testament was written) but it is still included in some bibles of the Orthodox Church. There is also an icon I've seen with a quote from that book and the title "prophet" ascribed to Ezra regardless of the fact that in the other books he is considered merely a priest and a scribe. Is the said book accepted by economia even though we know it's not factually right compared to the information we get from the other 2 books?
