Jeremiah for Everyone

Situated in the years leading up to the overthrow of Judah by the
Babylonians, Jeremiah's prophecies are set against the threat of invasion. He speaks strong warnings of God's judgement and imminent catastrophe, the
consequences of poor political and religious policies under the rule of the
House of David






Amid his contemporaries, Jeremiah lost credibility as the years
progressed, but the length of his book and the duration of his ministry
establish him as a major figure in the Old Testament. The fulfilment of his prophecies in later events of the Bible reasserts the
truth of his words, and his speeches and prayers depict a God whose anger is a
passionate response to the depth of the love he feels for his people.



Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on his
consideralbe theological knowledge, John Goldingay takes us deep in the
unfolding story of the Old Testament.
And, as he guides us in our understanding of these time-honoured words and the
ancient world they describe, he helps us to apply what we read to our lives.
