NIVAC 09: 1 and 2 Chronicles

NIVAC 09: 1 and 2 Chronicles

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century
to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow
make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original
meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable - but the job is only half done! The NIV
Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive
task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message
into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it
can speak powerfully today.The Chronicles are more than a history of
ancient Israel under the ascent and rule of the Davidic dynasty. They are a
story whose grand theme is hope. Great battles are fought, heroes and tyrants
vie for power, Israel splits into rival kingdoms, and the soul of GodÉs holy
nation oscillates between faithlessness and revival. Yet above this tossing sea
of human events, God's covenant promises reign untroubled and supreme. First
and Second Chronicles are a narrative steeped in the best and worst of the
human heartÎbut they are also a revelation of Yahweh at work, forwarding his
purposes in the midst of fallible people. God has a plan to which he is
committed.Today, as then, God redirects our vision from our
circumstances in this turbulent world to the surety of his kingdom, and to
himself as our source of confidence and peace. Exploring the links between the
Bible and our own times, Andrew E. Hill shares perspectives on 1 and 2
Chronicles that reveal ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives.
'Hill advocates understanding the book of Chronicles as a sermon.
This view does not undermine his confidence in the book as a work of history,
but he believes that Israel's story is here being  applied to the
situation of the original audience (God's people sometime between 450 and
400BC). This perspective is particularly helpful in this commentary because the
series calls on him to apply the ancient book to a modern context.' -
