The prophet Jeremiah and King Josiah were born at the end of the
longest, darkest reign in Judah's history. Human sacrifice and
practice of the black arts were just two features of the wickedness
that filled Jerusalem from one end to the other with innocent
blood. As outspoken prophet and reforming king, these two men gave
their country its finest opportunity of renewal and its last hope
of surviving as the kingdom of David. The book of Jeremiah is full
of turmoil and national tragedy, the story of key people like
Baruch, Gedaliah and Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, and the drama of
rediscovering the forgotten book of Mosaic law. National events
interweave with the lives of individuals; the rediscovered book of
God's law transforms Josiah, Jeremiah and the future of the world.
Derek Kidner, in this volume that was formerly part of the widely
respected The Bible Speaks Today series, gives careful attention to
the text and reveals its startling relevance to our own troubled
time.
