Product Description

The Daily Study Bible Series is a scholarly yet readable approach to the Old Testament. This series is the Hebrew Testament partner to Barclay's New Testament commentaries. This volume by J.G. McCoville on 1 and 2 Chronicles begins with an introductory section which discusses the date and authorship of the books, the literary aspects and the message of the texts. The commentary is an in-depth study and does well to draw out the history and message of these writings.

Publisher's Description

J. G. McConville examines the often overlooked books of I and II Chronicles, highlighting their theological significance in interpreting God's ways during the period of restoration after the Exile.

Taking a careful look at the setting, form, and content of I and II Chronicles, J. G. McConville describes how these two often neglected books present God's purpose for his people at a crucial time in their history—the period of restoration after the Exile. He shows the author, referred to as the Chronicler, to be “a theologian, sharing with all the biblical writers the burden of interpreting God’s ways to human beings.” The Chronicler uses the history of the monarchy, particularly the reigns of David and Solomon, as models to be imitated by their successors. They exemplify how faithfulness results in blessings for the people; unfaithfulness, as personified by Saul, in impoverishment. Although the second book ends in the destruction of Jerusalem, the Chronicler concludes optimistically, looking forward to the return of the people to their land and anticipating the endless possibilities existing for those who walk with God.

The Daily Study Bible series seamlessly continues the legacy of William Barclay’s renowned New Testament series by delving into the texts of the Old Testament, weaving together ancient wisdom and modern insights for a transformative reading experience. Perfectly tailored for individual study, spirited group discussions, or classroom exploration, the Daily Study Bible series offers an indispensable resource for spiritual seekers and scholars alike. Within these volumes, readers will encounter a profound exploration of the Scriptures, uncovering the profound messages they held in the past and discerning their relevance in the present.
