Reviews
Beginning with nine chapters of genealogies, readers (and even preachers) often neglect the book of Chronicles. After all, Samuel-Kings covers much the same historical ground. Eugene Merrill, one of the foremost interpreters of the Old Testament today, carefully and skillfully guides us through the theological and historical dimensions of Chronicles, showing its unique richness. His work illumines the book of Chronicles for today's readers. I recommend it for all serious students of the Bible, but especially for pastors who want to (and should) preach from this fascinating book. --Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College (09/15/2015) Although Chronicles is one of the longest books in the Bible, it is also among the most neglected. Thankfully, scholars in recent decades have begun to remedy this unfortunate deficit. Readers will welcome, therefore, the detailed attention given to historical, comparative, and theological issues in the substantive commentary of Eugene Merrill. --Gerald Knoppers, John A. O'Brien Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame (09/15/2015)
