THOTC: Lamentations

In this volume Robin Parry not only builds on traditional scholarship to
interpret the book of Lamentations within its ancient context but also ventures
further, exploring how the book can function as Christian Scripture. Parry
provides the first systematic attempt to read Lamentations in light of the
cross and resurrection - as Israel's Holy Saturday literature, filled with the
cries of those caught between the death of Jerusalem at the hands of the
Babylonians and its rebirth.

While Lamentations has been sadly neglected by a culture averse to grief and
tragedy, this anguished poetry of pain - especially when read through the lens
of Christ's agony and death - has much to teach us about life, God, and the
right response to human suffering.
