Description



About the Book



"The book of Jeremiah is full of beauty and brokenness, joy and sorrow. These themes are interwoven throughout the book, often without context or introduction, which can leave the present reader without the full picture of what the passage conveys. In Understanding Jeremiah: Its Setting, Composition, and Message, author Duane A. Garrett steps back from verse-by-verse commentary to provide a bird's-eye view of the book, giving rich background information to these prophetic writings. This three-thousand-foot view of Jeremiah gives specific insight into the politics, governance, and key players in Judah, Israel, and the surrounding nations; Jeremiah's life and its witness to holy living; the structure and composition of the book of Jeremiah; and the broader message of Jeremiah. Garrett's thorough discussion of the book of Jeremiah is informative to both student and scholar alike, giving all readers a more thorough understanding and appreciation of Jeremiah, the book and the prophet"--



Review Quotes




Duane Garrett and Calvin Pearson wisely focused on the text and its meaning in their commentary, Jeremiah and Lamentations: A Commentary for Biblical Preaching and Teaching (Kregel: 2022). In the present volume Garrett deals in greater depth with significant and sometimes-thorny issues in the Book of Jeremiah such as its historical context, structure, chronology, text, theology, and use in the Church today. As we have come to expect from Garrett's previous work, the volume is insightful, creative (in the best way), clearly written and accessible. I was challenged academically and edified in my faith. This outstanding volume will be an invaluable resource for those preaching and teaching the Book of Jeremiah.--Eric J. Tully "Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School" (9/13/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Duane Garrett's book is appropriately entitled "Understanding," for those seeking to understand the person and message of the prophet will be well armed to interpret the significance of this celebrated prophet in his times. Yet, Garrett is equally effective to challenge today's Christian readers to take up the message of the book's proclamation into their own spiritual journey. Garrett brings forward the life story of the prophet which illuminates his theology and message. Garrett is not shy regarding the troublesome aspects of the book, such as the date and composition of the book and the textual history of Septuagint Jeremiah and Hebrew Jeremiah. Scholars, pastors, teachers and students will greatly benefit from this excellent introduction.--Kenneth Mathews "Professor of Divinity Emeritus, Beeson Divinity School" (9/13/2024 12:00:00 AM)
