1 & 2 Chronicles: An Introduction and Study Guide: A Message for Yehud

Leslie C. Allen (Fuller Seminary, USA)

Leslie C. Allen introduces students to the 1 & 2 Chronicles in the Old Testament, incorporating insights from over two decades of previous scholarship while grounding his analysis in earlier key works.

A Message for Yehud sums up what has been judged to be a fundamental motivation underlying the whole book, a conviction that the obligation to seek the Lord in the light of the Torah and prophetic texts must be laid on the hearts of the community of Yehud in the fourth century BCE. To this end, using Samuel-Kings as a basis, Chronicles reviewed pre-exilic royal history for positive and negative clues as to how the generation for which it was written might achieve this spiritual ideal. In the book, Allen shows how this program was communicated all through the book by literary and rhetorical means.
