by J. Gordon McConville (Author)
Taking a look at the setting, form, and content of I and II Chronicles, J. G. McConville describes how these two often neglected books present God's purpose for his people at a crucial time in their history--the period of restoration after the Exile.
Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New Testament series, the Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, the Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.

Taking a careful look at the setting, form, and content of I and II Chronicles, J.G, McConville describes how these two often neglected books present God's purpose for his people at a crucial time in their history--the period of restoration after the Exile. He shows the author, referred to as the Chronicler, to be 'a theologian, sharing with all the biblical writers the burden of interpreting God's ways to human beings.'
