Jeremiah, previously published as a separate volume, has been combined
with Lamentations to provide a carefully organized exposition that
reconstructs the historical and cultural backgrounds as well as the
vital message of the two Old Testament books.Jeremiah is a penetrating
analysis of a significant prophetic book regarded as especially relevant
to modern times. Lamentations is an appropriate companion to this book,
for it looks back to the event that Jeremiah anticipated, the fall of
Jerusalem, and describes in stunningly evocative language the grief that
Israel experienced. Using a paragraphbyparagraph method of analysis, Dr.
Jensen explores major units of thought in these biblical books. He
effectively uses charts, maps, and informative footnotes to aid the
reader's understanding.
