In this commentary, Joshua Berman considers Lamentations as a
literary work that creates meaning for a community in the wake of
tragedy through its repudiation of Zion theology. Drawing from
studies in collective trauma, his volume is the first study of
Lamentations that systematically accounts for the constructed
character of the narrator, a pastoral mentor who engages in a
series of dialogues with a second constructed character, daughter
Zion, who embodies the traumatized community of survivors. In each
chapter, the pastoral mentor speaks to a different religious
typology and a different sub-community of post-destruction Judeans,
working with daughter Zion to reconsider her errant positions and
charting for her a positive way forward to reconnecting with the
Lord. Providing a systematic approach to the careful structure of
each of its chapters, Berman illuminates how biblical writers
offered support to their communities in a way that is still
relevant and appealing to a therapy-conscious contemporary society.
