Martin Noth's study of the Chronicler's History may not be so widely known as his celebrated Deuteronomistic History. However, as Williamson argues in his introduction, written specially to accompany his translation, it was a most significant contribution to the study of Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, and a translation of it has been long overdue. In view of the recent revival of interest in this body of literature, it is important that English speaking readers should have first-hand access to one of the seminal studies in this field.
