"Among Biblical scholars of Jewish background, Kalimi shows an outstanding ability to see and draw relationships between original passages and sources as well as ancient and modern commentaries.... Kalimi accomplished what he promised in the title of the book: to demonstrate that the Chronicler is "an ancient Israelite historian.'" - Chen Yiyi, In: Journal of Ancient Civilizations 24 (2009).
"The book is another important contribution to the study of Chronicles by an eminent expert on that field, and as such is indispensable on every scholar's desk, not only in the field of Chronicles but also for everyone with an interest in biblical historiography in general." - M. Marciak, In: The Polish Journal of Biblical Research 8 (2009).
"Professor Kalimi is to be congratulated for these two works, which are perhaps the finest analysis of Chronicles in the recent decades. Tons of ink has been spent on discussions that have gone above basic questions that the author has analyzed point by point, and no doubt studies in the future have come in the work of Kalimi a base and inescapable benchmark for discussions." - J.M. Tebes, In: Antiguo Oriente 8 (2010).

From the Back Cover
Series: Studia Semitica Neerlandica, 46
Students of Chronicles have long admired Professor Isaac Kalimi s thorough, creative, and stimulating work on that unique literature. This volume now compiles in one place his most recent studies. Readers will applaud its organization and balance of scholarly rigor and readability in treating fundamental issues the date of Chronicles as well as its unique hermeneutical stance and genre. The author s exploration of one of its central motifs the city of Jerusalem is certainly a highpoint. Flowing from the pen of an internationally recognized authority, this book is a must-read for students of Chronicles and biblical history and historiography as a whole. Sweet, indeed, is the fruit of the author s superb research, and grateful the readers who savor it.
Professor Robert L. Hubbard, North Park University & Theological Seminary, Chicago, IL, USA
In recent years, Chronicles has begun to receive the scholarly attention it deserves. Professor Isaac Kalimi, one of the most distinguished voices in the scholarly renaissance, here makes the crucial point that the Chronicler is genuine historian, not a midrashist , exegete , or theologian. Chronicles can therefore be categorized as late biblical historical writing. After discussing matters of date, authorship, and genre in Part I, the author focuses on the Chronicler s treatment of Jerusalem in order to show how he writes history. This book offers a comprehensive and highly competent treatment of an important biblical book.
Professor Richard J. Clifford, Weston School of Theology, Cambridge, MA, USA
This book by one of scholarship s most accomplished students of Chronicles is indeed welcome. It presents readers with a rich collection of studies dealing with some of the most vexing issues of Chronicles study, as well as with some of the more obscure topics. Kalimi s writing is cogent, thoroughly sensible, and based on solid scholarship, bringing to bear the author s breadth of learning, familiarity with the course of biblical interpretation, and keen historical sense.
Professor M. Patrick Graham, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA
