The Chronicler is the author, or group of authors, to whom some biblical scholars have attributed the composition of: the Books of Chronicles, the Book of Ezra, and the Book of Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible.[1] Although these books contain overlapping and sometimes conflicting accounts, "almost all scholars agree that the four books were put together as a continuous story".[2] Scholars believe that the Chronicler worked between 400 and 250 BC, with the period 350–300 BC the most likely.[3]
