About the Author:

John William Rogerson (1935 – 4 September 2018) was an English theologian, biblical scholar and ordained priest of the Church of England. He was professor of biblical studies at University of Sheffield. 

John Rogerson's interests ranged widely from linguistics and philosophy to German biblical scholarship, Palestinian topography and social anthropology. As Clines (1998; 23) remarks: ‘There proved to be almost no area to which Old Testament studies could be related in which John Rogerson did not make himself a master’.

He was for many years the Secretary of the British Society for Old Testament Study and was its President in 1989. He was a keen musician and plays the cello, and continued an active ministry at Beauchief Abbey, Sheffield, as well as academic and pastoral writing.

Hungarian Summary:

A Krónika sorozat legújabb kötete Ábrahámtól Heródesig a történelem ismertebb és jelentős eseményeit és hangsúlyos egyéniségeit vonultatja föl. Csaknem másfél évezred történelmének leírásával az Ószövetségi uralkodók krónikája bemutatja Izrael uralkodóit a pátriárkák, a bírák és az egyesített királyság korán át egészen a babilóni fogság, majd a perzsa, a görög és végül a római fennhatóság koráig.

English Summary:

Spanning 1500 years, this chronicle charts all the leaders of Israel from the ancestors through the united monarchy under David and Solomon, to the fall of Israel (to the Assyrians) and Judah (to the Babylonians), ending with the Second Temple Period, which saw Persian and Greek rule, and finally, Roman domination. The volume covers crucial questions in biblical scholarship, such as the fierce debates about interpretation of the Bible and how archaeology can inform our readings of Old Testament accounts, as well as the concept of kingship itself as it applies to ancient Israel.
