Situated in the years leading up to the overthrow of Judah by the
Babylonians, Jeremiah's prophesies are set against a tense
atmosphere of threat and invasion. Strongly warning of God's
judgment and the nation's imminent catastrophe, Jeremiah lost
credibility amongst his contemporaries as the years progressed, but
the length of his book and the duration of his ministry establishes
him as a major figure in the Old Testament. The fulfilment of his
prophecies in later events of the Bible reassert the truth of his
words and his speeches and prayers depict a God whose anger is a
passionate response to the depths of love he feels for his people.
Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on
his considerable theological knowledge, John Goldingay takes us
deep into the unfolding story of the Old Testament.
