Taking a biblical-theological approach, it shows how Chronicles' themes find their ultimate fulfilment in Christ. Drawing from insights from across Christian history and around the world, it highlights how the book's themes resonate far beyond its original setting, inviting readers to see God's faithfulness afresh for them today.About the Hodder Bible Commentary50 volumes. 4 million words.
