This review is from: A Commentary on Jeremiah: Exile and Homecoming (Paperback)
The author is one of the premier Old Testament scholars of our time. This comprehensive commentary explores the historical and social world of Jeremiah and offers a theological interpretation of Jeremiah's work. Uses a combination of sociological and literary analysis to provide a fresh look at the critical theological issues in the Jeremiah tradition. This is a look that finally yeilds compelling insights into the message and significance of Jeremiah both for this tumultuous time in the history of ancient Israel, but also for our own complicated times. THIS IS THE COMBINED EDITION OF A 2 VOLUME COMMENTARY PUBLISHED EARLIER IN THE '90S.

Brueggemann Never Disappoints,
By
This review is from: A Commentary on Jeremiah: Exile and Homecoming (Paperback)
Professor Brueggemann has written an extremely helpful book for the wearied and busy parish pastor who chooses to jump into the prophet Jeremiah. Brueggemann always brings to light the issue or subject that most needs thoughtful attention. I recently completed a sermon series on the prophet Jeremiah and my copy of Bruggemann's book is highlighted, underlined, and has been heavily used. One may not always agree with Brueggemann, but one never leaves without having been educated and enlightened. Very helpful for the preaching pastor!

this ain't "light reading",
By
This review is from: A Commentary on Jeremiah: Exile and Homecoming (Paperback)
Brueggemann's commentary is worth the price of admission. Personally, it has not struck me as a cover-to-cover read; it is a reference tool. But as reference works go, I would describe it as "readable".
Brueggemann isn't afraid to stir the pot. He is generous with his unexpected perspectives. I think of him as "unorthodoxly orthodox".
