Where and When? The Chronicler’s Adaptive Usage of "Space" and "Time"

The writers of Chronicles are famous for their creative use of the different Vorlagen (available sources) at their disposal. In their use of some Pentateuch (mainly genealogies) and Deuteronomistic (mainly Samuel–Kings) materials, changes in space and time are often used as rhetorical devices. Examples of these will be explored to come to a better understanding of the writers’ creative use of space and time in the late Persian and early Hellenistic contexts to envision a new future.
