Bier proposes here a strong new understanding of the Book of
Lamentations, drawing on Bakhtinian ideas of multiple voices to
analyse the poetic speaking voices within the text; examining their
theological perspectives, and nuancing the interaction between
them. Bier scrutinises interpretations of Lamentations,
distinguishing between exegesis that reads Lamentations as a
theodicy, in defense of God, and those that read it as an
anti-theodicy, in defense of Zion. Rather than reductively adopting
either of these approaches, this book advocates a dialogic approach
to Lamentations, reading to hear the full polyphony of pain,
penitence, and protest.
