The Books of Kings
This collaborative commentary on, or dictionary of, Kings, explores cross-cutting aspects of Kings ranging from the analysis of its composition, historically regarded, to its transmission and reception. Ample attention is accorded sources, figures and peoples who play a part in the book. The commentary deals with Kings treatment in translation and role in later ancient literature. While our comments do not proceed verse by verse, the volume furnishes guidance, from contributors highly qualified to advance contemporary discussion, on the book's historical background, its literary intentions and characteristics, and on themes and motifs central to its understanding, both of itself and of the world from which it arose. This volume functions as a meta-commentary, offering windows into the secondary literature, but assembling data more fully than is the case in individual commentaries.
The Message of Kings
In this Bible Speaks Today volume, John Olley shows how 1 and 2 Kings retell the past as preached history, addressing the exilic situation of the original readers. This accessible commentary shows how the narrative of Kings sheds light on what it means to worship, trust, and obey God in the midst of the turmoil of national and global events, doing so in rich often surprising ways.
