This week, each passage is a reframing a familiar, biblical narrative for a different moment in time. We consider how the Chronicler retells an Egyptian invasion of Judah; how Ezekiel recounts a vision of an Israel united under very different terms; and how the Evangelist in the gospel of John recasts the return of Jesus, the kingdom of God, and present community of faith.

It's not just the story of Rehoboam in Chronicles that gets a post-exilic makeover. The Chronicler weaves a different account of the reign of Abijah, son of Rehoboam, in the next chapter. I recorded a short piece about that for the Chronicles segment this week but cut it for length. It's still pretty interesting to look at, though, so watch out for another minicast later this week!
