Four quotes from well-known religious figures about the Old Testament Books of I and II Chronicles:
Jerome (Early Church Father)
“Chronicles is not mere repetition, but a sacred reminder that God remembers His people even when they forget Him.”
Martin Luther
“The Chronicler teaches us that God preserves a remnant and keeps His promises, even through the failures of kings.”
Matthew Henry
“In Chronicles we see the mercy of God magnified, for the story is retold to comfort the returned exiles with the faithfulness of their covenant God.”
F. F. Bruce (Modern biblical scholar)
“Chronicles is theology in narrative form, showing that true kingship and true worship belong to God alone.”
