This comprehensive examination focuses, first and foremost, on the use of Chronicles in Jewish societies through the generations and highlights the attitudes and biases of writers, translators, historians, artists, exegetes, theologians, and philosophers toward the book. The reader is made aware of what the biblical text has meant and what it has “accomplished” in the many contexts in which it has been presented.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Isaac Kalimi</note> <subject> <topic>Judaism -- Historiography</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>1129 Judaism: other</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Chronicles</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Chronicles -- Historiography</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">222.60072</classification> <classification authority="ddc">I73-K14</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781575061498</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/3/_196516402_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/3/_196516402_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070720.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
