UBCS: 1 & 2 Chronicles

Expert help for understanding the Bible

Each volume in the Understanding the Bible Commentary Series breaks down the
barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of
the biblical texts become transparent to contemporary readers. They present a
careful section-by-section exposition of the biblical books with key terms and
phrases highlighted and all Hebrew transliterated. Notes at the close of each
chapter provide additional textual and technical comments for those who want to
dig deeper. A bibliography and Scripture and subject indexes are also included.

Louis C. Jonker explores and synthesizes recent developments in the scholarship
on 1 & 2 Chronicles for modern readers, allowing them to understand the message
and theology of these books that have too often been seen as mere repetition of
other Scripture. He reads Chronicles as literature that negotiates a new
socioreligious identity in a period of political transition, expertly relating
it to readers living in the twenty-first century.
