{"product_id":"ii-chronicles-jacob-m-myers-9780300139549","title":"II Chronicles","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eII Chronicles\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 13 in the acclaimed Anchor Bible Commentary series) is a crucial book for historians of the biblical period and for students of the Bible. Like I Chronicles, it has been both over- and undervalued. In recent years it has, certainly, suffered undue neglect. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHowever, II Chronicles is to be neither accepted as a faithful narrative of the period of biblical history from Solomon to Cyrus nor dismissed as an imaginative re-creation of that history. It must be taken as an important clue to the biblical process, for here we find the Bible quoting itself - sometimes directly, sometimes in paraphrase. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJacob M. Myers has set before himself the enormous task of organizing and correlating the evidence to be found in \u003ci\u003eII Chronicles\u003c\/i\u003e (as well as in \u003ci\u003eI Chronicles, Ezra, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNehemiah\u003c\/i\u003e - for which he is also the editor and translator). Meticulously, he analyzes important aspects of the Chronicler and his work - his method of composition, his conviction that to rebuild the nation of Israel one had to restore and strengthen her traditional religion, his significant post-Exilic perspective. The book also examines the vast literature on Chronicles to find what it yields toward a better understanding of the Chronicler and a fuller appreciation of his work. The appendices in the book provide a list of the parallels and paraphrases that relate Chronicles to other books of the Bible, and genealogical charts summarize the family histories to be found in Chronicles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob M.
