Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture: 1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther (ACCS)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The church fathers, as they did in earlier books dealing with Israel’s history from the time of Joshua to the united monarchy, found ample material for typological and moral interpretation in 1–2 Kings, 1–2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. As will be immediately clear to readers of this volume, they gave much more attention to 1–2 Kings than to any of the other books addressed here; whether this was due to a certain repetitiveness in the story line or other reasons is unclear. But the narratives of wise King Solomon, the construction of the temple, the prophets Elijah and Elisha, and the fates of various faithful and unfaithful kings and other powerful people were well suited to their purposes.
