Product Description

A groundbreaking exploration of inner-biblical exegesis! In this meticulous analysis of prophetic predictions that begin with expressions such as "in that day" and "at the end of days," De Vries demonstrates how futuristic expectation was reshaped within the prophetic collection once it appeared in written form. 383 pages, softcover from Eerdmans.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

In his introduction De Vries sketches the canonical setting of the books of Chronicles, especially in relation with Ezra-Nehemiah, and then discusses the redacted and original versions of Chronicles. He describes Chronicles as genealogical and narrative history that tells who/what ideal Israel is, how it has suffered by its unfaithfulness, and how it will remain true Israel by trusting in God.

Editorial Reviews

Brevard Childs
— Yale University
"S. J. De Vries's form-critical analysis of 1 and 2 Chronicles is a thoroughly competent treatment of this difficult and much-neglected portion of the Old Testament. The writer's well-balanced, solid treatment provides a most reliable guide through much unchartered territory and will be welcomed by all serious students of the Bible."

Samuel Terrien
— Union Theological Seminary
"Based on impeccable erudition and written with the flair of a pioneer enamored of the landscape, this form-analytical and genre-setting commentary restores to Chronicles the oft-neglected appeal of an unlikely subject: the marriage of genealogy with temple music and splendor for the sake of an ideal Israel."
