This work is an updated revision of Kalimi's Zur Geschichtsschreibung des Chronisten, published in 1995 in the BZAW series, which in turn is based on his Hebrew University dissertation. Kalimi begins by outlining his (mainstream) positions on central questions concerning Chronicles, such as its date, unity, and genre: issues that are crucial before developing his thesis. The bulk of the book comprises nineteen chapters, each dealing with a particular literary or historical principle, such as harmonization, measure for measure, chiasm, inclusio, and use of literary patterning. A final chapter deals with inconsistencies of various sorts, and an “Afterward” discusses how the book has advanced scholarship on Chronicles.
