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.
