A:In addition to the Book of Ezra, the Book of Nehemiah mentions Ezra. However, since both books appear to have been written by the same person, or at least edited by the same person, this is not evidence that Ezra was a real person. Some inconsistencies cause some scholars to question whether Ezra WA a literary construct rather than a historical person.
