Short description:
The Oxford Handbook of Jeremiah offers compelling new readings of the text by some of the most influential contemporary biblical interpreters today. The book examines the fascinating literary tradition of the Book of Jeremiah through discussions of its historical and cultural contexts of origins, textual and literary history, major internal themes, reception history, and significance for a number of key political issues. The result is a synthetic anthology that offers a significant contribution to the field as well as an indispensable resource for scholars and non-specialists alike.
MoreLong description:
The Book of Jeremiah is one of the longest, most complex and influential writings in the Hebrew Bible. It comprises poetic oracles, prose sermons, and narratives of the prophet, as well as laments, symbolic actions, and utterances of hope from one of the most turbulent periods in the history of ancient Judah and Israel.
Written by some of the most influential contemporary biblical interpreters today, The Oxford Handbook of Jeremiah offers compelling new readings of the text informed by a rich variety of methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks. In presenting discussions of the Book of Jeremiah in terms of its historical and cultural contexts of origins, textual and literary history, major internal themes, reception history, and significance for a number of key political issues, The Handbook examines the fascinating literary tradition of the Book of Jeremiah while also surveying recent scholarship. The result is a synthetic anthology that offers a significant contribution to the field as well as an indispensable resource for scholars and non-specialists alike.
The purpose of this new Handbook of Jeremiah is to unite the current diversity of approaches in Jeremiah research in 'a synthetic anthology'. In my opinion this Handbook is a milestone, very suitable for obtaining a swift overview of the recent developments in Jeremiah research. The reading of this book is also an adventure that can be talked about for a long time.
