Mit dieser Studie wirft Neil J. Morrison einen neuen Blick auf das Thema der Vergeltung im Chronikbuch. Die Erzählungen von Vergeltung zielen darauf ab, religiöses Engagement zu fördern, haben also einen didaktischen Zweck und keinen dogmatischen Stellenwert.
Neil J. Morrison seeks to clarify the nature and purpose of the theme of divine retribution in Chronicles. He contends that retribution represents a malleable motif which serves the ideological purpose of fostering religious commitment and bolstering the status of the Second Temple. Nevertheless, the outworking of retribution in the narrative has been constrained by other ideological commitments and the exigencies of the contemporary world. For example, the divine provision of the temple and God''s irrevocable commitment to Israel often overshadow retribution. Similarly, the uncertainties of the late-Persian or early-Hellenistic setting necessitated a more flexible approach to retribution, underscoring the importance of human activity rather than waiting upon divine intervention. This theory explains how retribution serves a didactic purpose without representing a systematic theological dogma.
