Description
Summary:This chapter discusses that the Chronicler's work is particularly important for Pentateuchal studies when viewed from the perspective of the early reception of the Pentateuch. The Chronicler, as an early reader of the "primary history" can shed valuable light on different aspects of Pentateuchal research, some of which is illustrated in the chapter. The chapter discusses some illustrations from Chronicles studies which may suggest some avenues for fruitful interaction with Pentateuchal research. These illustrations center around two questions, namely "What does the book of Chronicles reflect of the extent of the "primary history"?" and "What does the book of Chronicles reflect of the negotiation of a new (All-Israelite) identity in Persian period Yehud?" The chapter shows how the Chronicler as Early Reader interacted with the "primary history" in order to negotiate a new identity in the late Persian period.
