| Description: |
"There are few issues in the history of exegesis," he says, "that are not in some way touched by Chronicles, so that along with their richness they involve the interpreter in a labyrinth of related questions."
Among the issues and events examined in this thoroughgoing study are: the literary structure of 2 Chronicles, the Chronicler's interaction with canonical texts from the Pentateuch, the Psalms, the prophets, Joshua, Samuel, and particularly with Kings, the Chronicler as both historian and theologian, including perspectives on kings both faithful and unfaithful, reform-minded and decadent, the building of Solomon's temple, the revolt of Rehoboan, the banishment of Israel to Babylon, reward and punishment in Chronicles: the theology of immediate retribution, the Chronicler's concern with the themes of exile, restoration, and renewal. |
