The Chronicler of Israel wrote as a pastoral theologian. The congregation he addressed was an Israel separated from its former days of blessing by a season of judgment. The two books of Chronicles address a divine word of healing and reaffirm the hope of restoration to a nation that needed to regain its footing in God's word of promise and to reshape its life before God.
In two volumes, Martin Selman provides a masterful interpretation of, and lucid commentary on these sorely neglected yet profound books of the Old Testament. This first volume, on 1 Chronicles, provides a full introduction that surveys the Chronicler's method, summarizes major theological themes and serves as a valuable entree into the heart of the work we now know as 1 & 2 Chronicles.
