Drawing on ancient rhetorical principles, this work brings a novel
approach to the exploration of the literary dynamics of the books
of Chronicles. Contrary to those who have viewed the Chronicler as
ploddy and dull, Duke maintains that the Chronicler understood the
historiographical demands of his day. Utilizing traditions,
genealogical material, speeches of authoritative characters and
paradigmatic portrayal of events and characters, and moving from a
cautious inductive presentation of his thesis to a more
propositional form of argumentation, the Chronicler retold the
story of Israel with skill and artistry.>
