Best Answer

Many have held that the so-called "Chronicler" was the final author/editor of Ezra, Nehemiah and the books of Chronicles. These books draw on a number of different sources such as lists, genealogies, letters and memoirs. Parts of Ezra are personal memoirs or reminiscences of Ezra. Some would say that the Chronicler was Ezra himself, while others think he was a later follower of Ezra's circle or a later priest or Levite. Derek Kidner and H.G. M. Williamson hold that linguistic and other differences between the Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah indicate different compilers for those books. The degree of involvement, creativity, and quality of work of the Chronicler or compilers is debated.
