This course will introduce students to the joy and complexity of reading narrative texts in the Old Testament through a careful study of the book of Chronicles. The first part of the course will consider the current academic climate in interpreting Chronicles. At the same time, we will be introduced to the skills needed to read biblical narratives in more general terms. The remainder of the course will engage directly with the book of Chronicles itself. During this part of the course we will pay careful attention to how Chronicles is both similar and different from the parallel accounts in the books of Samuel and Kings, which helps us to see the distinctive contribution Chronicles makes as part of Christian Scripture.
