The Chrysostom Bible Commentary Series is not so much in honor of
John Chrysostom as it is to continue and promote his legacy as an
interpreter of the biblical texts for preaching and teaching God's
congregation. In this volume, the author, Paul Nadim Tarazi, argues
that "The Books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel stand at the center of the
Hebrew Old Testament canon...both prophets were active around the
time of the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians ca. 587 B.C., and
their missions were to declare that the city succumbed to such a
shameful end due to its negligence of God's law. What makes
Jeremiah's message more ominous in the hearer's ears than that of
Ezekiel is that he carried out his mission while living in
Jerusalem...in Jeremiah, other "prophets" named by name and
endorsed by the majority of the people and leadership challenge
Jeremiah at every step. Even an inattentive hearer can feel the
"pain" of Jeremiah and thus tends to empathize with his frequent
complaints. In this sense, the Book of Jeremiah stands alone in
scripture as the book of God who implements his punishment in spite
of any entreaty...it is the book where God "alone" stands "over the
nations and over the kingdoms" of his entire earth (Jer 1:10) in
his office of sole supreme judge of all, including the deities of
the nations (Ps 82).
