Product Highlights

From a Reformed Perspective

"I found this most helpful commentary eminently readable, with excellent use of telling everyday illustrations, with pointed applications, constantly made, good links with New Testament passages and, best of all, an interpretation that consistently pointed forward to Christ."

—Hugh J. Blair, Emeritus Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature at the Reformed Theological College, Belfast

The book of Chronicles is an important part of the Old Testament. Originally written as one book, 1 and 2 Chronicles summarize, not only the history of God's people from the creation of the world until the edict of Cyrus in 538 B.C., but also the theology of the Old Testament - the revelation that God gave of himself at creation, to the patriarchs, through Moses, during the monarchy, exile and restoration.

2 Chronicles takes up the narrative with the reign of Solomon, the most glorious period in the whole history of Israel, and focuses especially on the construction and dedication of the temple as the place where God was to be worshipped in the way he had appointed. Following the division of the kingdom, the Chronicler concentrates almost exclusively on the history of Judah and the godly remnant who remained loyal to the line of David and to the worship of the temple. The book ends on a note of promise as the first exiles prepare to return to the land and rebuild the temple after the seventy years of captivity in Babylon.

Throughout the book, we see that even though God's people may repudiate his covenant with them, God himself remains faithful to his covenant promises. Above all, we are pointed forward to Christ, in whom the promises both of the Messianic King and of the temple find fulfillment.
