Description
The past couple of decades have seen the book of Chronicles go from being "the Bible's best-kept secret" (1) to being one of the most studied and researched of all biblical books. One reason for this is a renewed interest in the Persian period and an acknowledgment of its importance in the formation of the biblical corpus as we know it today. (2) Most recent commentators on Chronicles assume that the Chronicler lived in late Persian-period Yehud and have come to realize the importance of his book for our understanding of the ideology, theology, and historiography of this period. (3) One particular aspect of Chronicles research that has returned to the forefront is that of the Chronicler's genealogies. These nine chapters serve as an "introduction" to the entire book, one in which the Chronicler lays out the historical, geographic, and demographic background for his entire composition. (4) To quote one commentator, the genealogies "are like lions guarding the gates, driving away the fainthearted from the treasures inside." (5)
