“What a gift to the church! Kaminski draws us into the sacred story of God’s kingdom in the life of post-exilic Israel and helps the church see this same story continuing in our world today. With an engaging style, clear explanations, and rich theological insight, Kaminski has produced the go-to resource for pastors and Bible Study leaders who aim to savor 1–2 Chronicles and lead others to do the same.”
—Andrew Abernathy, professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College
“Kaminski masterfully keeps the theology and purpose of these books always in view. Instead of getting lost in the details, she shows how they are like brushstrokes that paint a glorious theological vision for God’s people. She also shows how that vision is equally necessary for God’s people today, making this commentary theologically rich and practically oriented. What a help for preachers and teachers!”
—Jay Sklar, VP of Academics and professor of Old Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary
“Carol Kaminski's commentary on Chronicles is a wonderful gift to the church. Her reading of the book is historically aware, literarily sensitive, theologically informed, and pastorally astute. Chronicles has often been neglected in the church, but need be no more.”
— David Firth, tutor in Old Testament, Trinity College, Bristol
“Composed to reassure God’s followers in a time of instability and uncertainty, the books of Chronicles offer hope that God’s purposes will be fulfilled, while at the same time reminding the people of the importance of praying with humility. Drawing on the best of recent research, Prof. Kaminski’s commentary on Chronicles is an accessible and judicious explanation of the text that helpfully addresses its relevance for modern readers. Bible readers interested in Chronicles will undoubtedly find this to be an exceptionally valuable resource.”
—T. Desmond Alexander, senior lecturer in biblical studies and director of postgraduate studies, Union Theological College
