"The pastor and the seminary student will find this book a very
welcome addition to their library. Brueggemann's exposition of the
text is adequate in its detail, and always lucid. Helpful footnotes
direct the reader to further reading on historical background and
scholarly viewpoints. . . This book is a very readable guide to
Jeremiah and will appeal to a broad section of the market."
Religious Studies Review
"The author challenges us to explore the voice of Jeremiah that is
so powerful and compelling, so passionate and uncompromising in its
anguish and hope, that it requires our submission to the text for a
fresh discernment. . . A standard work for seminary students and
pastors in parish contexts." Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"The author of a good book is a good partner in conversation.
Brueggemann has made a major contribution to the extraordinarily
complex continuing conversation with the author of the Book of
Jeremiah. He consistently argues that this must be a theological
conversation, and his comments repeatedly increase the theological
depth in which the book is understood. . . For this lively and
provocative commentary Brueggemann is to be applauded." Sharing the
Practice
"This commentary will challenge all who use Jeremiah in preaching
and teaching. Brueggeman challenges us to understand the prophetic
writing in new ways that will have an impact on our use of the text
in sermons and on our understanding of the contemporary situation
of the church."
