Jeremiah’s Scriptures : Production, Reception, Interaction, and Transformation (Hardcover)

From a June 2014 conference at Monte Veritá, Switzerland, 15 papers and responses to them consider the book of Jeremiah from a number of perspectives. Among the topics are the nature of Deutero-Jeremianic texts, formulaic language and the formation of the book of Jeremiah, Jeremiah's scriptures in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the growth of a tradition, retelling the story of exile: the reception of the Jeremiah tradition in 4 Baruch in the perspective of the Jewish diaspora, and the commissioning of Paul: light from the prophet Jeremiah on the self-understanding of the apostle.
