Product Description

▼▲

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. The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles bring a divine word of healing and reaffirm the hope ofrestoration to a nation that needed to regain its footing in God's promises and to reshape its life before God.

The Chronicler expounds the Bible as he knows it, skillfully weaving his commentary into the linear text of Israel's 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.

In two volumes Martin Selman provides an excellent interpretation of these sorely neglected yetprofound books of the Old Testament. The first volume on 1 Chronicles provides a full introduction that surveys the Chronicler's method, summarizes major theological themes and serves as a valuable entrée into the heart of the work we now know as 1 and 2 Chronicles.

The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world."

"Within its constraints, this series includes some outstanding volumes."

"Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain. So they retain their usefulness for preachers, Bible study leaders and for all readers of the Bible."

"There simply is no series of medium-length commentaries that approaches the excellence of the Tyndale commentaries."
