Once at the center of HB studies in the work of Wilhelm de Wette,
and progressively moved to the margins where it was entrenched by
Julius Wellhausen, the book of "Chronicles" has enjoyed a
resurgence in scholarly interest in recent decades. However, no
consensus has emerged from these numerous studies on even the most
basic of issues: the authorship, date, genre, and purpose of the
work have been at the center of much debate. For example: is the
work from the Persian or Hellenistic or even Maccabean period; is
it history or historiography or midrash or something else; is it
originally the work of priests or Levites, and was it redacted by
the other group and to what extent; what is its relationship to its
sources - especially the Pentateuch, Samuel-Kings, and the Ezra and
Nehemiah materials; how many redactions has it undergone and which
sections belong to each; and what are its main theological
interests? Rather than focus on one of these issues, which has been
the trend of a majority of recent publications, this examination
employs a literary approach in an attempt to address the coherence
of "Chronicles" as a whole. Three major concerns of the
"Chronicles" commonly discussed by scholars (genealogy, politics,
and the temple cult) are examined through the lens of utopian
literary theory.
