A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'[...an accessible but comprehensive interpretation of the book, analysis of the life of the prophet, and consideration of the context of the Old Testament. Lundbom sets out careful exposition of key issues. The dreams and prophecies of Jeremiah are examined with an astute eye for signature rhetorical and textual devices...]' --Walter Brueggemann, The American Journal of Biblical Theology, Vol. 14, Number 19, May 2013 'What we have here is a mature distillation of Lundbom's wide knowledge of the book of Jeremiah presented in such a way as to invite non-specialists into the complex and multifaceted interpretive world this text inhabits. Lundbom is a wise, patient, and easy-to-follow guide. This book is a welcomed gift from a seasoned scholar for those in the church and seminary settings.' --Bacho V. Bordjadze, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Vol.21, No.1, January 2014 'Lundbom wrote the 3-volume Anchor Bible commentary on Jeremiah (1999-2004), and here performs the commendable task of mediating his understanding of the book to a general audience, with not a footnote insight. […] This would make an excellent introduction to a serious read-through of the book.' --Richard Briggs, Biblical Studies Bulletin, June 2013

Lundbom is a knowledgeable commentator and gracefully explores the poetic, rhetorical and theological particularities of Jeremiah. --William L. Kelly, The Expository Times, Vol. 127 No. 10, July 2016

'This slim volume contains a condensed and popular version of Lundbom's substantial research on the book of Jeremiah […]. I enjoyed reading the book. It is well written and eminently accessible. It manages to give a chronological and coherent outline of Jeremiah's life, an accomplishment indeed given the structure of the book of Jeremiah. [...]' --Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament, 2014

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book seeks to place before beginning students and general readers a representative discussion of material contained in the biblical book of Jeremiah. It is written for those who may never look into a Jeremiah commentary or read a scholarly work on one who arguably stands as the greatest of ancient Israel's prophets. My hope is that these twenty essays can be read with profit by beginning students, adults in Bible study classes, and people anywhere who simply want an introduction to Jeremiah and the book bearing his name. Hopefully this will generate interest, not only in Jeremiah, but in all the Hebrew prophets, who are without parallel in the ancient world, and who define the office of prophet up to the present day.
