In this volume, a part of the Westminster Bible Companion series, Paul Hooker suggests that First and Second Chronicles is not a “history of Israel,” but rather a theological reflection on the story of Israel’s faith. The Chronicler, according to Hooker, seeks to sketch the lines of Israel’s future as the people of God by drawing on the resources of Israel’s past.
Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist laity in their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and practice. Each volume explains the biblical book in its original historical context and explores its significance for faithful living today. These books are ideal for individual study and for Bible study classes and groups.
