I just finished writing a 9-page chapter that gives my take on 1-2 Chronicles. Though written for a new OT survey textbook, this chapter does not give a chronological summary of the book. Instead it is arranged by themes, under the heading of “what did the author of Chronicles really want you to understand.”
As I mentioned before, I really had a fun time studying the book, and I’ve tried to capture the heart of it in a concise and interesting way. Before I submit the chapter to the editor, I’ve been encouraged to let others read it and give their feedback. Specifically, I want to know if the chapter is understandable, engaging, and relevant. I’m interested in fixing places where the content is confusing or the grammar is difficult. You might be particularly helpful if you:
- are good with words
- or fit in the primary target audience of a college freshman/sophomore (or high schooler)
- or fit in the secondary target audience of a church layperson
- or have a passion for Chronicles
- or want to have a passion for Chronicles
- or having been waiting for your opportunity for revenge!
If that’s you, send me an email (tbolen91 at bibleplaces dot com is my current online address) and I ‘ll send you the chapter. I must have all feedback not later than this Saturday, June 28.
It sounds very interesting, Todd, but I’m definitely not “having been waiting” for such an opportunity! If you’d like to having some simple English check, me would be honored.
Whoa! I came back to your site to check again what you wanted on your article, and wow! Totally different set-up!
Just finished reading the chapter. It’s nothing short of magnificent! Well written, informative, & educational. Obviously the product of intense, wide-ranging thought, & extreme attention to minute details. Your current fans will not be disappointed, & I’m confident you will gain many new ones after it’s published.
