Andrew StewartPaperback 2006-05-06
Andrew Stewart, minister of Geelong Reformed Presbyterian Church, follows up his excellent commentary on 1 Chronicles, providing clear and concise insight into 2 Chronicles and its message of God's faithfulness to his covenant promises.
The popular Welwyn Commentary Series provides clear and concise insight into the Scriptures from respected authors, many of whom are pastors and Bible teachers. Currently covering 26 Old Testament and 20 New Testament books of the Bible, these accessible and highly practical works are ideal for personal study, Bible class and sermon preparation. Worthy of the widest readership.
Publisher Description
A readable commentary, with good illustrations and applications, linking well with the New Testament, especially in its pointing towards Christ. Originally written as one book, 1 and 2 Chronicles summarize, not only the history of God's people from the creation of the world until the edict of Cyrus in 538 B.C., but also the theology of the Old Testament - the revelation that God gave of himself at creation, to the patriarchs, through Moses, during the monarchy, exile and restoration. 2 Chronicles takes up the narrative with the reign of Solomon, the most glorious period in the whole history of Israel, and focuses especially on the construction and dedication of temple as the place where God was to be worshipped in the way he had appointed. Following the division of the kingdom, the Chronicler concentrates almost exclusively on the history of Judah and the godly remnant who remained loyal to the line of David and to the worship of the temple. The book ends on a note of promise as the first exiles prepare to return to the land and rebuild the temple after the seventy years of captivity in Babylon. Throughout we see that, even though God's people may repudiate his covenant with them, God himself remains faithful to his covenant promises. Above all, we are pointed forward to Christ, in whom the promises both of the Messianic King and the temple find their ultimate fulfilment.
