1 and 2 CHRONICLES
By Cyril J. Barber
Christian Focus. 257 & 343 pages
ISBN 1 85792 935 7 & 1 85792 936 5

Cyril J. Barber is a knowledgeable Old Testament scholar who taught for many years in divinity schools in the US, and has written many books, including several on historical books of the Old Testament.

However, in these volumes he does not set out to be scholarly, although what he writes is based on careful research. By his own confession he has produced a 'devotional' rather than exegetical or expository commentary. He has worked out his own translation and reproduces it in the text for us.
