The nature of Dr. Brown's commentary partakes of rare excellence. At the forefront is rich, passionate spiritual insight, which is grounded in a context of deep, holistic scholarship. This combination of spiritual and scholarly wisdom creates a matrix of information and inspiration, which leads to reflection and prayer. Dr. Brown's writing engages the heart and the mind as he bravely ventures into the connection between the word of God, the heart of God and the anguished prophet.

The Expositor's Bible Commentary on the Prophet Jeremiah, published by Zondervan in 2010, features the writings of Dr. Michael L. Brown. Messianic Judaism is given yet another resource in the advance of Zion's Millennial Civilization (Zechariah 2:10,11; Isaiah 60:12-14; Ezekiel 37:21-28). The Restoration of the Kingdom of David and Solomon (1Kings 4:20,21; Acts 1:6-8; Psalm 72:8-11; Matthew 17:11),in this 21st Century since the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 14:1;7:4-9), is bolstered by the literary efforts of scholars like Michael Brown.

We should express our appreciation for the inspired expertise apparent in Dr. Brown's commentary on Jeremiah. The content and format of this presentation is optimal. There is no doubt that Zion's (Jeremiah 50:4,5) prophets of Israel enjoy a profound respect for Dr. Brown's spiritual and scholarly efforts. Brown exhibits every characteristic of a Messianic, Jewish literary shepherd, a shepherd who contributes to the consummated, apocalyptic fulfillment of Jeremiah 3:15.

This series is an excellent resource for students of the Bible. It is clearly written and the analysis is comprehensive. Highly recommended.

Volume 7 of The Expositor's Bible Commentary, published in 2010, is a real gift to the Body of Christ, for scholar and non-scholar alike.

It contains Dr. Michael Brown's work on Jeremiah, which itself is worth the cost of the book.

Brown brings an unfortunately rare threefold dimension into the wide world of commentaries (and how thankful we should be that he brings it!); namely, the combination of extensive OT scholarly insight and understanding, a very readable and clear text, all driven and undergirded by a Jeremianic spirit and burden in his own life and ministry.

That is a rare combination indeed, and this makes it a necessity for your personal library! I commend it heartily. Get the commentary, and journey with Dr. Brown into the world of the prophet; into the burden of the Lord, into the piercing word of repentance, into the prayerful tears for the redemption of a nation, and into the hope and joy of promises from a covenant-keeping God. It will put you in touch with a solid exegesis of the text, insight into the thought and background of the man Jeremiah, and enlarge your heart's desire for mercy to be poured out upon Israel, your own nation, and the nations of the world.

Ferris' Lamentations and Alexander's Ezekiel are also included in the volume, and should give you yet another reason to order one for yourself!

I recommend this Commentary to any student of scripture. What a wonderful tool for pastors, students and anyone who wants to study God's Word. Dr. Brown has wonderful insight on the book of Jeremiah. Buy it, you won't reget it!
