Mentor Commentary
1 & 2 Chronicles: A Mentor Commentary
The book of Chronicles (1&2) is one of the most neglected portions of Scripture. Many find its complex history unfamiliar and assume that it is irrelevant for contemporary life. To grasp the significance of Chronicles for our times, we must first understand its original meaning. It was written to encourage the Jews to be faithful to God (and not focus on material prosperity) on their return from Babylon. Pratt looks skilfully at the big picture in each section and presents the detail in an absorbing way. The Mentor commentary series maintains a conservative theological tradition whilst interacting with modern theologians from other backgrounds.

I taught an introductory class through 1st Chronicles, and now I'm currently teaching through 2nd Chronicles. Pratt's volume was my main source for background work on the subject matter. Although Pratt's commentary was technical, it wasn't overly technical. The layout of the volume is outstanding as well. I have commentaries where the layout is just awful and hard to follow along. I ordered Pratt's commentary when I found out Ligonier ministries recommends it. If you are a layperson in the church and want to learn more about Chronicles and the Southern tribe's list of kings, this book should bless your studies. Highly recommend.
