NIVAC 08: 1 & 2 Kings

NIVAC 08: 1 & 2 Kings

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.Readers of 1 and 2 Kings commonly approach
these books as a straightforward chronology of post-Davidic Israel: the
inauguration of SolomonÉs reign, the division of the kingdom following his
death, and IsraelÉs and JudahÉs ensuing kings, conflicts, captivities, and
overarching spiritual decline.

In reality, however, the books of the
Kings fall into the collection known as the Former Prophets, and their true
story and underlying theme center on such striking personalities as Nathan,
Elijah, Elisha, and other divinely appointed spokesmen. It is GodÉs interaction
with his people by way of his prophets and their kings - his pleadings, his
warnings, and the fulfillment of his words- that comes across again and again
with forcefulness and clarity. God speaks; now will his people hear, believe,
and respond?

The question is as relevant for us today as it was for the
ancient Israelites. Bridging the centuries, August Konkel connects past context
to contemporary circumstances, helping us grasp the meaning and signifance of 1
and 2 Kings and take to heart their message for us today. Series: NIV
