Rewriting Biblical History: Essays on Chronicles and Ben Sira (2011) is a volume edited by Jeremy Corley and Harm van Grol.

Abstract

Collection of essay "in honor of Pancratius C. Beentjes."

"Old Testament texts frequently offer a theological view of history. This is very evident in the Books of Chronicles and in the final section of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus). Today there is renewed interest in both these works as significant theological and cultural Jewish documents from the centuries before Jesus. Both Chronicles and Ben Sira aim to recreate a national identity centered on temple piety. Some chapters in this volume consider the portrayal of Israelite kings like David, Hezekiah, and Josiah, while others deal with prophets like Samuel and Elijah."--Publisher description.
