The Remaining Writings. Bob MacDonald

What books remain and what do we learn from their placement? The third section of the third major division of the Hebrew Bible has three books. First, Daniel, and he is not among the prophets. Second, Ezra-Nehemiah, treated as one book, records the return from exile and the rebuilding of the temple. And third, Chronicles, itself in two parts, recapitulates the history from Genesis to the end of Kings. Even the lists of names are set to music! The music seals the whole canon. Read, sing, study, compose, learn, be thankful for the love that preserved these words, and be joyful. The Remaining Writings is volume 7 of the series, The Hebrew Bible and Its Music.
