The Chronicles are more than a history of ancient Israel under
the ascent and rule of the Davidic dynasty. They are a story whose
grand theme is hope. Great battles are fought, heroes and tyrants
vie for power, Israel splits into rival kingdoms, and the soul of
God s holy nation oscillates between faithlessness and revival. Yet
above this tossing sea of human events, God s covenant promises
reign untroubled and supreme. First and Second Chronicles are a
narrative steeped in the best and worst of the human heart but they
are also a revelation of Yahweh at work, forwarding his purposes in
the midst of fallible people. God has a plan to which he is
committed. Today, as then, God redirects our vision from our
circumstances in this turbulent world to the surety of his kingdom,
and to himself as our source of confidence and peace. Exploring the
links between the Bible and our own times, Andrew E. Hill shares
perspectives on 1 and 2 Chronicles that reveal ageless truths for
our twenty-first-century lives. Most Bible commentaries take us on
a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they
leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return
journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning of the
passage but don t discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable but the job is only half done
The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of
the interpretive task together. This unique, award-winning series
shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern
context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it
speaks powerfully today."
