1 Chronicles: An Introduction and Commentary - Paperback

by Martin J. Selman (Author)

The Chronicler wrote as a pastoral theologian. The congregation he addressed was an Israel separated from its former days of blessing by a season of judgment. Along with a passage-by-passage interpretation of the text, Martin Selman offers a complete introduction which surveys the Chronicler's method and summarizes key theological themes.

Back Jacket

The Chronicler expounds the Bible as he knows it, skillfully weaving his commentary into the linear text of Israelis history. His theme is straightforward-the promises of God revealed in the Davidic covenant are as trustworthy and as effective as the God who first uttered them.
