This self-study guide will help you follow the decline and captivity of both Israel and Judah and their determined endurance under one evil king after another. You'll also marvel at the miracle-filled ministry of Elisha. In your study of 2 Chronicles, you'll see how Ezra, concerned for the spiritual welfare of God's people, organized his account of the kingdom's history in order to emphasize the importance of religious purity as well as the proper place of the law, the Temple, and the priesthood. The books in the Jensen Bible Self-Study Guide series are designed to provide you with a broader understanding of God's Word. Offering historical context and background, author information, charts, and other helps, these books will equip you with a comprehensive reference tool you'll return to often. Each study includes an opportunity for analysis, response, and further study in a response-oriented format. The thirty-nine books in this series are suitable for both personal and group use.
