b'BIBLICAL COMMENTARIESA COMMENTARY ON JEREMIAHMICHAEL B. SHEPHERD KREGEL EXEGETICAL LIBRARYA thorough, passage-by-passage exegetical analysis on the book of Jeremiah The book that bears the prophet Jeremiahs name does not merely document the past but looks forward to Gods future and final work in Christ. Perhaps more than any book of the Old Testament, Jeremiah attests to the process of its own writing, transmission, and editing, and these internal clues confirm its original purpose as a book for all time and for every nation.Michael Shepherd carefully lays out Jeremiahs far-reaching message with passage-by-passage translation and up-to-date commentary. The themes of judgment and restoration certainly concern Israels historical judgment at the hands of the Babylonians and their subsequent return, but also the eschatological judgment of all worldly opposition to God and a final restoration and flourishing in the land of the covenant.Shepherds second volume in the Kregel Exegetical Library series, this commentary makes a significant contribution to the academic dialogue on the book of Jeremiah and its connections to the rest of Scripture. The exploration is helpful for the scholar but accessible and useful for the pas-tor, examining the themes of covenant, kingship, judgment, restoration, and the nations.Michael B.
