Scholars typically view Jeremiah 26-45 as a collection of episodes
constructed during the Babylonian exile that attempts to prove the
authenticity of Jeremiah's prophetic status. But Jeremiah's
prophetic legitimacy was already widely accepted during the period
of the Babylonian exile. These chapters serve a different purpose,
namely, to provide a response by the Deuteronomistic scribes to the
rise of the Ezekiel tradition and the Zadokite priesthood that
threatened their influence among the exilic population. By
subsuming their work within an existing and earlier collection of
Jeremianic literature, the ideology and political agenda of the
Deuteronomists was fused with the literary legacy of a widely
respected prophet, giving rise to a larger literary collection that
left a profound and lasting impression on Israel's intellectual and
social history.
