Have you ever tried to plow through all 52 chapters of the Old Testament book of Jeremiah and then became discouraged because of all the unfamiliar names and the disorganized fashion in which the book is assembled? If so, then "Jeremiah the Prophet" can help. is book untangles the complex accounts and presents the life of this greatest of prophets in chronological order as far as possible, from his childhood to his nal years in exile. What were the living conditions in Judah during the sixth century B.C.E., plunging it to its nal destruction? In this book we discover the daily routines of life in the city of Jerusalem, including the intrigues involving kings and priests. We learn of Jeremiah's prophetic compulsion to judge the nation he loved and the resulting depression and violence he su ered. We hear about the rise and fall of neighboring world powers, such as Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt, and their e ect on the tiny nation of Judah. We observe how Jeremiah stood up to the rulers of these countries, including his own kings and priests who broke God covenant. Most importantly, we discover God's role in these events. Why was God's judgment against Judah so severe, and what was their o ense? is book is not a history lesson. It is a message for our world today which desperately needs to hear God's warning and God's word of hope.
