Richard Pratt's exemplary commentary on 1 and 2 Chronicles is systematic, scholarly, sober, and simple. In his introduction Professor Pratt systematically sets forth the Chronicler's theology to address three primary concerns of the original Israelite readers. These are the people of God, the king and temple, and divine blessing and judgment. Our expositor's goal to write a theological commentary, not a scribal one, informs his whole work. References to these major themes and their sub-themes appear throughout the commentary. Professor Pratt's theological presentation is always based on sound exegesis, interpreting the Chronicler's words in the light of his historical horizon. Moreover, few are as competent as to interpret narrative with a sensitivity to structure, characterization, and plot development. Professor Pratt's commentary is solid because he presupposes the infallibility of the Hebrew text which the Chronicler originally penned under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He also presupposes that although the Chronicler addressed an original Israelite audience sometime between c. 515 and 390 BC, his theology has abiding value for contemporary Christian readers. Unfailingly, our author extends the Chronicler's theology into its development in the New Testament. - Back cover.
