Although there were many prophets who brought the message of God to his people  we have records of only a few. Of these  our knowledge of Jeremiah is probably the most complete. In this commentary  the fourth in the New International Commentary on the Old Testament series  John A. Thompson examines the book of Jeremiah with its message urging the people of Israel to be true to their covenant Lord and to live in conformity with his covenant. Thompson begins his study with a look at the role of the prophets in Israel  and Jeremiahs place among them. He then discusses the historical setting of Jeremiahs message. From this background  Thompson moves to an examination of the book of Jeremiah itself  focusing first of all on its structure and composition. He reviews the work of several scholars  in particular Sigmund Mowinckel and John Bright. Next  the author considers some important issues for exegesis  such as the date of Jeremiahs call  the significance of the symbolic actions he used  and the relationship between Jeremiah and Hosea. The last part of the book is devoted to an examination of the text and poetic forms of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44954727645237,"sku":"ByrdShop_0802823696","price":63.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780802823694.jpg?v=1770281821","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-book-of-jeremiah-the-new-international-commentary-on-the-old-testament","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
