1 & 2 Chronicles

A Commentary for Biblical Preaching and Teaching

Author: Joshua E. Williams & Calvin F. Pearson

Enables pastors and teachers to deliver biblical, cohesive, and dynamic messages

The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles do more than provide an account of historical events involving God's people; they also point to the future using a picture of the past.

In this commentary, authors Joshua E. Williams and Calvin F. Pearson explore the interrelated themes of divine covenant, the worship of God's people, the kingdom as God envisions it, and the God-formed community found in this far-ranging and didactic narrative. God's holiness, faithfulness, and gracious character find concrete expression in the accounts of the Davidic monarchy over many generations. These often-failed national leaders prefigure a better coming Davidic king who will lead the way back to proper worship of God. 1 & 2 Chronicles calls readers to both action and hope.
