| Publisher Description: "Kalimi, one of the esteemed specialists of the Chronicler's work... has provided us an intriguing historical and theological study about the Chronicler's work that will surely provoke further discussion." -- Stefan Beyerle, In: Journal for the Study of Judaism in the Persian, Hellenistic and Roman Period 37 (2006). "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). |
