This volume is born out of two years of academic presentations on
laments in the Biblical Hebrew Poetry Section at the Society of
Biblical Literature (2006-2007). The topics of these papers are
gathered around the theme of "voice." The two parts to this volume:
1) provide fresh readings of familiar texts as they are read
through the lens of lamentation, and 2) deepen our understanding of
Israel and God as lamenter and lamentee. In the second section the
focus on topics such as Israel's "unbelieving faith" (i.e., strong
accusations against the God on whom they have complete reliance and
trust), the unrighteous lamenter, and God's acceptance and
rejection of the people's lament(s), deepens our understanding of
Israel's culture and practice of lamentation. The final essay notes
how the expression of despair is in tension with the poetic devices
that contain it.
