The Oxford Handbook of Jeremiah Summary

The Oxford Handbook of Jeremiah by Louis Stulman (Professor, Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy, Professor, Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy, University of Findlay)

The Book of Jeremiah is one of the longest, most complex and influential writings in the Hebrew Bible. It comprises poetic oracles, prose sermons, and narratives of the prophet, as well as laments, symbolic actions, and utterances of hope from one of the most turbulent periods in the history of ancient Judah and Israel. Written by some of the most influential contemporary biblical interpreters today, The Oxford Handbook of Jeremiah offers compelling new readings of the text informed by a rich variety of methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks. In presenting discussions of the Book of Jeremiah in terms of its historical and cultural contexts of origins, textual and literary history, major internal themes, reception history, and significance for a number of key political issues, The Handbook examines the fascinating literary tradition of the Book of Jeremiah while also surveying recent scholarship. The result is a synthetic anthology that offers a significant contribution to the field as well as an indispensable resource for scholars and non-specialists alike.

The Oxford Handbook of Jeremiah Reviews

The purpose of this new Handbook of Jeremiah is to unite the current diversity of approaches in Jeremiah research in 'a synthetic anthology'. In my opinion this Handbook is a milestone, very suitable for obtaining a swift overview of the recent developments in Jeremiah research. The reading of this book is also an adventure that can be talked about for a long time. * Dr H.G.L. Peels, European Journal of Theology *
This is a monumental volume about a monumental book, and the editors are to be congratulated on bringing it into being...The Oxford Handbooks aim to provide scholars and graduate students with examples of cutting edge research on their subjects and guidance on the progress and direction of debate on different subjects, and this handbook does so. * John Goldingay, The Expository Times *
Stulman's and Silver's edited handbook is well organized, well researched, and well written. The sheer scope and sequence of articles provides readers with an extraordinary understanding of the book of Jeremiah, the breadth and depth of scholarship that the book generates, and how this ancient book continues to have a place in the contemporary world. Those engaged in the study of the prophets and Jeremiah, in particular, will find this work insightful, challenging, and thoroughly engaging. * Carol J. Dempsey, University of Portland, Horizons *
This handbook is a milestone, very suitable for a brief overview of recent developments in Jeremiah research. Reading this book is also an adventure that will be remembered for a long time. * H.G.L. Peels, the quarterly magazine *
