WCS 1 & 2 Chronicles (2 Volume Set)

This pack contains:

WCS 1 Chronicles: A Family Tree

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 summarise, 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.

1 Chronicles takes this narrative up to the establishment of the monarchy under David, culminating in the building of the temple. The underlying message is that of a covenant God who provides salvation for his people, through a Redeemer foreshadowed by the deliverer-kings whom God gave to his people.

WCS 2 Chronicles: House of Prayer

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.
