This book analyses a much neglected writer's contribution to the
debate within Judaism in the post-exilic period about who might
legitimately be included within the reconstituted Jerusalem
community, and notably the Chronicler's attitude to the status of
the Samaritan sect. It has been almost universally accepted that
Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah are all parts of a single work, and so
the rather 'exclusive' attitude of Ezra-Nehemiah has been read back
into Chronicles. Many believe that the Chronicles intended to
reject the Samaritan claim to inclusion. Dr Williamson challenges
both the assumption of unity of authorship and the attribution of
an exclusive attitude to the Chronicler, providing evidence to
support the case for separate authorship, and examining Chronicles
in its own right. A study of the use of the word 'Israel' and an
analysis of the narrative structure jointly lead to the conclusion
that the Chronicler reacted against the over-exclusive attitudes of
some of his contemporaries, and looked for the reunion of 'all
Israel' around Jerusalem and its temple. This study will interest
both Old Testament scholars and students of Jewish history and
culture.
