The First And Second Books Of Chronicles by A. Hughes-Games. The work provides a scholarly introduction to the Chronicles, outlining their composition, canonical placement, dating, possible authorship, and sources. It explains that the Chronicles were likely produced after the Babylonian exile to connect returning Israelites with their past, to emphasize temple worship and the Levitical priesthood, and to establish a theocratic perspective for post-exilic Jewish life. The introduction discusses the relationship between Chronicles and Ezra–Nehemiah, the notion that Chronicles originally formed a single work with Ezra–Nehemiah, and how the chronicler’s aims differed from those of Samuel and Kings. It surveys the sources used (early biblical writings, state annals, tribal traditions, Midrashic material, and prophetic writings), evaluates issues of authenticity, and describes the text’s state and transmission. Overall, the volume frames Chronicles as a temple-centered history intended to instruct and sustain the restored community in faithfulness to Yahweh and to the Levitical order.
