1 and 2 CHRONICLES, BY SIMON J. DE VRIES, IS VOLUME XI

of The Forms of the Old Testament Literature, a 24-volume series that aims to present, according to a standard outline and methodology, a form-critical analysis of every book and each unit in the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible). Fundamentally exegetical, the volumes examine the structure, genre, setting. and intention of the biblical literature in question. They also study the history behind the form-critical discussion of the material, attempt to bring consistency to the terminology for the genres and formulas of the biblical literature, and expose the exegetical procedure so as to enable students and pastors to engage in their own analysis and interpretation of the Old Testament texts.
