TOTC 21: Jeremiah & Lamentations

Despite the themes of doom and destruction, the primary message of Jeremiah is
one of the love and grace of a God who never gives up on those he has called to
be his own. The prophet's life is characterized by suffering, but he points to
a new beginning, a new covenant and a new hope, eventually made possible
through the unique Suffering Servant. Lamentations powerfully expresses
personal and national suffering. Yet, even in these utterances of desperate
grief, there are glimpses of hope.

Lifting out these significant but understated themes in Jeremiah and
Lamentations, this commentary by Hetty Lalleman opens our eyes to an important
chapter in salvation history.

The Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for
Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical
scholars, these twenty-eight volumes offer clear, reliable and relevant
explanations of every book in the Old Testament.

These Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible
actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a
concise but thorough description of the authorship, date and historical
background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself
examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also
comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The
aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its
message plain to readers today.
