Understanding Jeremiah
Its Setting, Composition, and Message
Author: Duane Garrett"I have come to appreciate Jeremiah the prophet above any person of the Old Testament. . . because his humanity shines so clearly through his book." From the author, pg. 4
The book of Jeremiah is full of beauty and brokenness, joy and sorrow. These themes are interwoven throughout the book, often without context or introduction, which can leave the present reader without the full picture of what the passage conveys. In Understanding Jeremiah: Its Setting, Composition, and Message, author Duane A. Garrett steps back from verse-by-verse commentary to provide a bird's-eye view of the book, giving rich background information to these prophetic writings. This three-thousand-foot view of Jeremiah gives specific insight into:
- the politics, governance, and key players in Judah, Israel, and the surrounding nations
- Jeremiah's life and its witness to holy living
- the structure and composition of the book of Jeremiah
- the broader message of Jeremiah
Garrett's thorough discussion of the book of Jeremiah is informative to both student and scholar alike, giving all readers a more thorough understanding and appreciation of Jeremiah, the book and the prophet.Author:
