1 & 2 Chronicles

In this theological commentary on 1 and 2 Chronicles, Peter Leithart reads the two books as scripture for the church. Leithart is a theologian respected for writing in a way that reaches a broad audience.

He draws out the narrative logic that holds Chronicles together and looks at the part played by music and government, both in ancient Israel and in the church. He also traces how the history of Judah moves from the world of the monarchy into the postexilic world, where Israel is scattered among the Gentiles.

The commentary is written to serve the church. It is intended as a full resource for preachers, teachers, students and study groups.
