Looking Back for Jehoiachin

"It is with a special bit of pride and joy that I greet the revision and publication of James Critchlow's dissertation. It covers one of the most important eras in Israel's later history and the life of a neglected but pivotal player in the events of Judah's last days before the Babylonian captivity: King Jehoiachin."

--Walter C. Kaiser Jr., President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary



"James Critchlow has produced nothing less than a uniquely valuable contribution to biblical studies with this thorough and insightful monograph on Jehoiachin. . . . Readers of this book will not only encounter a trove of biblical-era history and Old and New Testament theology, but will come to appreciate the pivotal nature of Israel's last legitimate king. . . . It's a serious book, but very readable, with both scholarly perquisites, including a comprehensive bibliography on Jehoiachin, and popular, practical insights."

--Doug Stuart, Professor of Old Testament, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
