I & II Chronicles

I & II Chronicles   [OLDT 0524W]

Course Description

Among the least read (and most misunderstood) books in the Old Testament are 1 & 2 Chronicles. Yet we will discover in this course that this material has a vital message for the church and academy today. As the last books of the entire Hebrew Bible, Chronicles is uniquely positioned to provide what a prominent scholar refers to as “one of the richest mines of spirituality in all Scripture.” The post-exilic period, when Chronicles was composed, witnessed the production of new kinds of literary and theological works. This course is centered on a close reading and analysis of 1 & 2 Chronicles, along with study of relevant secondary sources and class discussions.
