Description
Book SynopsisSince the Book of Chronicles is increasingly studied on its own, and not as a copy of 1-2 Samuel and 1-2, this study treats the various aspects and themes of this rich document. It provides an analysis of specific texts and topics uncovering the Chronicler's permanent creativity to transform Israel's tradition(s) into a new theological and ideological system of its own.
Trade Review"[This] collection of essays [...] contains stimulating studies which are characterized by sound jugdment and illuminating observations on style and structure of the narratives or parts of the book (Chronicles). The same applies to the cases of innerbiblical exegesis." Bibliotheca Orientalis 69, 5/6 (2012), p. 600. "This is a very rich volume, which I would say is indispensable for those who specialize in historical-critical studies of Chronicles and in the reconstruction of the intellectual discourse of the community in which this book emerged. It consistently exhibits careful readings and thoughtful analyses. It contains an abundance of proposals, readings, and critiques of commonly accepted positions worthy of much consideration." Ehud Ben Zvi, Biblical Interpretation, 19 (2011)
