Bücher von R. J. Coggins

Unlike the First and Second Books of the Chronicles, the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah have received considerable attention.

The Chronicles, divided into two books purely for convenience, have long suffered from neglect; this is partly because much of their content can be found elsewhere in the Old Testament and partly because their presentation, emphasizing genealogies and ritual ceremonies, has lacked appeal for modern man over the last few hundred years.
