An insightful contribution to Old Testament studies, showing how
the seemingly bloodthirsty oracle of Jeremiah 48 nevertheless
contains a positive Christian reading. In this sophisticated study
Julie Woods identifies some salient features of Jeremiah's Moab
oracle by means of a careful analysis and comparison of both the
Septuagint and the Masoretic Text of Jeremiah 48. She also explores
the implications of links between the Moab oracles in Jeremiah 48
and Isaiah 15-16. The focus then moves to theological hermeneutics
via an examination of some recent Christian interpretations of the
oracle (from Walter Brueggemann, Ronald Clements, Terence Fretheim,
Douglas Jones, and Patrick Miller). Building on the observations of
these scholars and the conclusions reached from her own textual
analyses, Woods provides an innovative Christian reading of the
oracle (including two imaginative film scripts to bring the text to
life). Perhaps one of the more surprising proposals is that Easter
is the ultimate horizon of Jeremiah 48.
