This dissertation attempts to observe Solomon's faults in the Solomon account in Chronicles using a kind of 'reader-response criticism' (This dissertation denotes its methodology 'readerjnsitive approach' in order to emphasize the sense that the text is designed to guide its reader sensitively to convey effectively its meaning, message and intention. The 'reader-sensitive approach' can be a subcategory of 'reader-response criticism', excluding the possibility of an overly reader-centred reading such as a deconstructionist reading). The attempt is a challenge to the near consensus view that Solomon is portrayed as flawless or impeccable in Chronicles.
