Beschreibungen/Notizen

• According to Johnstone, in 1 Chronicles 1-9, the Chronicler spells out the "universal relationship" of God and humanity, and how Israel finds its place amidst the nations in response to the "breakdown" of this relationship. 1 Chronicles 10-2 Chronicles 9 presents Israel attempting to achieve its ideal amidst the nations, sacramentally representing the sovereignty of God amidst the nations through the Davidic dynasty. [...]Johnstone's understanding of the text as "midrash" presupposes that the Chronicler-and his Second Temple audience-had a concept of canon similar to that which emerged three centuries later. [...]most basically, Chronicles reads very well as ancient historiography rather than as midrash.
