Chronicles of History and Worship Orthodox Christian Reflections on the Books of Chronicles

The Old Testament Books of Chronicles contain some of the most neglected passages in all of Scripture. Understanding their message can be a difficult and daunting task for the modern reader. Popular writer and Old Testament scholar, Patrick Reardon, brings these important books to life, unfolding their powerful message for our own day and age. Like any family history, the story of Chronicles is told with a distinct purpose in mind. It asks the question: "What was the real and lasting significance of King David and his house?" Beginning with the long list of names of the first chapter, this heritage is revealed in cosmic significance. It has in fact become the family tree of every true believer. The centrality of worship is also clearly revealed in these pages. The life pleasing to God is shown to be the life centered on the true worship that God has revealed to the world in the family history of His people. Far from being irrelevant or an antiquated, these truths are alive today, reflected in the liturgy and life of the Church. Read this fresh, compelling commentary on the Book of Chronicles to better understand Bible history, the heritage of the saints, and the centrality of worship in the believer's life.Reardon, Patrick Henry is the author of 'Chronicles of History and Worship Orthodox Christian Reflections on the Books of Chronicles', published 2006 under ISBN 9781888212839 and ISBN 1888212837.
