This widely-praised expository commentary explores the historical and social milieu of Jeremiah and offers a theological interpretation of this central book of the Old Testament. In contrast to current approaches to Jeremiah, Brueggemann uses a combination of sociological and literary analysis to provide a fresh look at the critical theological issues in the Jeremiah tradition. First published as two volumes, this combined edition includes an important new preface in which Brueggemann surveys the current state of Jeremiah studies.
