Summary "The Books of Chronicles" by W. A. L. Elmslie is a historical account included in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges, first published in the late 19th century and reissued in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the history of Israel, particularly emphasizing the religious aspects tied to Judah and Jerusalem during the post-exilic period. It aims to underline the significance of worship in Jerusalem, possibly in response to competing religious narratives, primarily from the Samaritans. At the start of "The Books of Chronicles," the introduction lays the groundwork for understanding ancient historical writings, particularly focusing on their distinct characteristics compared to modern historiography. The Chronicler addresses the cultural and religious milieu of Israel, highlighting how historical records often served to convey moral and religious lessons rather than being strict accounts of events. The initial sections discuss how the book of Chronicles is linked to Ezra and Nehemiah, suggesting a deliberate effort to present a unified history that underscores the legitimacy of the Jerusalem Temple and its rituals amid competing narratives from the Northern Kingdom and Samaria.
