Chronicles of History and Worship: Orthodox Christian Reflections on the Books of Chronicles
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Old Testament book of Chronicles contains some of the most neglected passages in all of Scripture. Understanding its message can be a difficult and daunting task for the modern reader. Patrick Reardon brings this important book to life, unfolding its powerful message for our own day. Like any family history, the story of Chronicles is told with a distinct purpose in mind. It asks the question: “What was the real and lasting significance of King David and his house?” Beginning with the long list of names of the first chapter, this heritage is revealed in cosmic significance. It has in fact become the family tree of every true believer.
