"I am putting my words as a fire in your mouth; these people are
tinder and it will consume them." (Jeremiah 5:14) In the book of
Jeremiah, the vocabulary of "word" and "words" is not only uniquely
prevalent, but formulae marking divine speech also play an
unprecedented role in giving the book's final form its narrative
and theological shape. Indeed, "the word of the Lord" is arguably
the main character, and a theology that is both distinctive and
powerful can be seen to emerge from the unfolding narrative. In
this stimulating study, Andrew Shead examines Jeremiah's use of
word language; the prophet's formation as an embodiment of the word
of God; his covenant preaching and the crisis it precipitates
concerning the recognition of true prophecy; and, in the "oracles
of hope," how the power of the word of God is finally made
manifest. Shead then brings this reading of Jeremiah to bear on
some issues in contemporary theology, including the problem of
divine agency and the doctrine of Scripture, and concludes by
engaging Jeremiah's doctrine of the Word of God in conversation
with Karl Barth. The prophet's major contribution emerges from his
careful differentiation of "word" and "words."
