The Chronicler wrote as a pastoral theologian. The congregation he addressed was an Israel separated from its former days of blessing by a season of judgment. The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles bring a divine word of healing and reaffirm the hope of restoration to a nation that needed to regain its footing in God's promises and to reshape its life before God.

The Chronicler expounds the Bible as he knows it, skillfully weaving his commentary into the linear text of Israel's history. His theme is straightforward--the promises of God revealed in the Davidic covenant are as trustworthy and as effective as the God who first uttered them.

In two volumes Martin Selman provides an excellent interpretation of these sorely neglected yet profound books of the Old Testament. The first volume on 1 Chronicles provides a full introduction that surveys the Chronicler's method, summarizes major theological themes and serves as a valuable entrée into the heart of the work we now know as 1 and 2 Chronicles.

The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world." -- Craig Blomberg, Denver Seminary

"Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain. So they retain their usefulness for preachers, Bible study leaders and for all readers of the Bible." -- Peter Adam, principal, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia

"Within its constraints, this series includes some outstanding volumes." -- D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"There simply is no series of medium-length commentaries that approaches the excellence of the Tyndale commentaries." -- Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Basic Commentary
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2012

I am finding this to be a quality, basic commentary on the book, 1 Chronicles. The introduction to the work is comprehensive and well written. The author possesses extensive knowledge of the subject material and his research and background are superior. I recommend this to everyone wanting to study this somewhat obscure book of the history of Israel.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Great Retelling Part 1
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2019
The introduction, which covers 1 & 2 Chronicles in the digital copy of the Tyndale Commentaries I own, is superb. It orients the Chronicler and his work in time and space and also explains the different purpose of the book when compared to Samuel and Kings. The vast summing up of virtually the entire Old Testament also helps you appreciate even the seemingly impenetrable beginning and most of the ending of 1 Chronicles.

The 9 chapters of vast genealogies at the start and the lists of Levites and others at the end are simply dull reading to a modern. While the commentator tried to make them interesting, he sometimes slipped into that droning voice of history teachers. Often a commentary is offered for a section of the text and then is somewhat repeated in the verse by verse commentary. When given the opportunity in the middle of the book to comment on David's reign, the commentary improves.

Much like Leviticus and the second half of Joshua, it is tough to write an "introductory" commentary for 1 Chronicles. While brevity might have been given a higher priority in the commentary and 1 & 2 Chronicles combined in one volume, the obvious amount of effort that went into this work along with the fine introduction make it a commentary worth reading.
