The early Christian scholar Jerome wrote, "The book of Chronicles is of such importance that without it anyone who claims to have a knowledge of the Scriptures makes himself a fool." Dr. Raymond Dillard holds similarly high regard for this portion of the Bible, but equal recognition that understanding its full import depends upon a thorough knowledge of the whole Scripture. "There are few issues in the history of exegesis," he says, "that are not in some way touched by Chronicles, so that along with their richness they involve the interpreter in a labyrinth of related questions."
Among the issues and events examined in this thoroughgoing study are:
- The literary structure of 2 Chronicles
- The Chronicler's interaction with canonical texts from the Pentateuch, the Psalms, the prophets, Joshua, Samuel, and particularly with Kings
- The Chronicler as both historian and theologian, including perspectives on kings both faithful and unfaithful, reform-minded and decadent
- The building of Solomon's temple
- The revolt of Rehoboam
- The banishment of Israel to Babylon
- Reward and punishment in Chronicles: the theology of immediate retribution
- The Chronicler's concern with the themes of exile, restoration, and renewal.
Dr. Dillard throughout demonstrates his commitment to the Bible as the word of God. Affirming a view of Scripture that follows the pattern of the Incarnation-that the Bible is both divine and human-he shows the Chronicler, like the other biblical writers, as having been guided by a divine hand, and, like them, in their humanity, having shaped their material through their own personalities and varying theological purposes: "Chronicles is through and through a theological essay; the Chronicler describes the put to demonstrate the validity of particular premises that addressed the needs of Israel in his own day. Chronicles is not only a writing of history; it is a tract."
Dr. Dillard's lucid writing and careful study, solidly based on his familiarity with ancient languages and historical backgrounds and his use of a wide range of scholarly research materials, make his volume on 2 Chronicles an invaluable resource for preacher, teacher, and serious student.

One of the best
By Doug Erlandson
One of the best of the commentaries on 2 Chronicles, the contribution of the late Raymond Dillard, former professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia) was originally published in 1988. Twenty-five years later it remains a solid, standard contribution to the literature on this book. Written in a clear, lucid fashion that is accessible to the layperson with little prior background in the OT, it also contains significant scholarly insights that make it a cornucopia of information for the serious student of the Word. Dillard's familiarity with the geographical and the archeological background is evident, as he shares insights that make the text come alive. In addition, he does an excellent job of dealing with and explaining the differences in perspective between the author of the Chronicles and the author of 1 & 2 Kings. Technical points regarding the Hebrew text are found in the footnotes and thereby separated from the main body of the commentary.
Dillard is unabashedly conservative in his approach to Scripture, holding to a high view of its inspiration. This is an additional reason for the evangelical scholar or layperson to make use of his commentary.
The one word of caution is for those thinking of purchasing the 2 Chronicles and not 1 Chronicles in the Word Commentary series. Unlike most volumes in the series, Dillard's contains very little introductory material (other than two short essays on the material in Chs. 1-9 and Chs. 10-36). For greater detail on the background, authorship, etc. of both of these books one will need to consult the Word commentary on 1 Chronicles, which was written by Roddy Braun.

Responsible, Insightful, Thorough
By mike4416
The late Ray Dillard contributed an outstanding volume to the Word Biblical Commentary series. In keeping with the format of the series the commentary features a new translation by the author with textual notes; a section detailing form, structure and setting; commentary by verse; and a final explanation section which seeks to bring together all of the above for each passage. Some consider this format confusing and cumbersome; in my opinion the break down isn't terribly distracting if used well by the author.
The present volume has considerable strengths. Dillard has not looked away from the difficult historical issues raised by the text. He demonstrates an impressive familiarity with the relevant history and archeology of the Ancient Near East, the textual history of present text(s) and its interaction with the Deuteronomistic history of the Book of Kings. Difficult passages are consistently dealt with in a remarkably responsible and well balanced manner that respects the integrity of the text while admirably refusing to press unreasonable harmonizations. Dillard's linguistic skills are equally impressive. And while he has incorporated the insights of literary analysis, one gets the sense that perhaps slightly more could have been done in this area.
While Dillard's linguistic and historical skills make this commentary highly useful, it is his grasp of the overarching theological themes of Chronicles that gives the commentary it's enduring value. Dillard has clearly thought deeply about the Chronicler and his work. His appreciation of the book's theology gives the commentary an appealing coherence and leaves one with the sense of having grasped the meaning of the whole. Furthermore, Dillard thoughtfully places Chronicles within the broader context of the Christian canon finally finding the hopes of the post-exilic community fulfilled in the kingdom of God inaugurated by Christ.
Dillard's prose is well crafted. The bibliographies are helpful even if now slightly dated. The excursuses on the theology of immediate retribution and the Chronicler's presentations of Solomon, Jehoshaphat and Hezekiah are valuable treatments of those subjects. And finally, while the commentary predates the recent controversies regarding minimalist and maximalist approaches to the historical reliability of the Hebrew Bible, Dillard models an instructive reading of the text that respects both the historical and literary/theological dimensions of the text.

He has made 2Chr come alive!
By Martin Parra
"This commentary makes 2 Chronicles come alive" - an apt comment of Tremper Longman III (Old Testament Commentary Survey, third edition). Indeed an outstanding commentary! I would all commentaries of the WBC series on the Old Testament were like this one - "a showcase of the best in evangelical critical scholarship" (dustjacket). Dillard has done a fine job on theology, Hebrew and historical backgrounds and he has traced
out many connections with the New Testament. Nevertheless, there is a single drawback - it is too brief!
