I & II Chronicles for Beginners

Things Left Over

I & II Chronicles retell the history of Israel from Adam to the post-exilic period, with a focus on the Davidic dynasty, the Temple, and covenant faithfulness. Written for a post-exilic audience, these books emphasize God's enduring promises, the centrality of worship, and the importance of repentance and restoration. Chronicles provides theological reflections on Israel's past to inspire hope and faithfulness in God's ongoing redemptive plan.
