Part of my project to read through the Bible.
Started: July 14, 2024
(This is a reread. I originally read this book in 7th grade. But since this is my first time reviewing this book on this blog, according to my new rules, I'm doing this as a video only review.)
I explain about my background with the Bible and my reasons for doing this read-through in this blog post here: https://joelswagman.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-book-of-genesis-from-jerusalem-bible.html
Here are links to some of the stuff mentioned in this video:
The part of that lecture series I discuss in this video is from Lecture 19. The exact quote is as follows: "The Book of Chronicles, which is a rewrite of the historical material, the historical narrative in the Book of Kings, rewrites that material in a manner that never explains a catastrophe on the basis of guilt incurred by someone other than the one experiencing the catastrophe. In other words, it rejects the Deuteronomistic historian’s device of delayed punishment which you’ll remember we discussed. It changes the narrative account so that no one suffers for a crime committed by someone else. It isn’t the sin of an earlier generation that’s finally visited upon a grandson or a king of a later generation."
