Download or read book Jeremiah's Kings written by John B. Job and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Jeremiah has provoked a number of major commentaries in the last twenty years. Those in English differ dramatically in their conclusions about the nature of the book, and the discussion has been extended by important German work, notably by Winfried Thiel and Konrad Schmid. John Job examines the treatment of rulers contemporary with the prophet and shows that the attitude to these kings varied greatly from one part of the book to another, indicating great redactional complexity. This leads on to a final chapter concerned with wider theological issues, particularly those affected by recent post-modern scholarship. Here, taking a distinctive position in the debate about the 'final form of the Old Testament', the author draws out implications for reading the book as Christian scripture.

Download or read book Jeremiah’s Journey written by J Hand and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of Jeremiah’s rescue of the last Judean king’s daughters. It has elements of espionage, action and adventure. It may read like a modern thriller, but it is based on the life of the biblical Jeremiah and the histories and traditions of other nations. It operates on the assumption that Jeremiah did exactly what God told him that he would do. God told Jeremiah that he would see the destruction of his nation but also the replanting and rebuilding in a different land that he did not know. The history uses modern dates. There are many espionage characteristics because while he loudly proclaimed Gods message of the consequences to his nation of their choices, he also had to use secrecy. The survival of the culture in the captives taken to Babylonia depended on it. Finally, he would use secrecy to protect the last descendants of King David. The main characters in this story besides Jeremiah are his partner, Baruch, a black royal guard captain, Ebed-Meleck and of course, the king’s daughters. It does not conflict with the Bible, but get ready to be entertained, enlightened and inspired.

Book Synopsis Jeremiah’s Scriptures by : Hindy Najman
Download or read book Jeremiah’s Scriptures written by Hindy Najman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeremiah’s Scriptures focuses on the composition of the biblical book of Jeremiah and its dynamic afterlife in ancient Jewish traditions. Jeremiah is an interpretive text that grew over centuries by means of extensive redactional activities on the part of its tradents. In addition to the books within the book of Jeremiah, other books associated with Jeremiah or Baruch were also generated. All the aforementioned texts constitute what we call “Jeremiah's Scriptures.” The papers and responses collected here approach Jeremiah’s scriptures from a variety of perspectives in biblical and ancient Jewish sub-fields. One of the authors' goals is to challenge the current fragmentation of the fields of theology, biblical studies, ancient Judaism. This volume focuses on Jeremiah and his legacy.

Download or read book Matthew written by Dr. David Jeremiah and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus is the eternal King... Follow Dr. Jeremiah through the gospel of Matthew in a chapter-by-chapter study that will help you understand what it meant to the people at the time it was written, and what it means to Christians today. At first glance, it seems surprising that Jesus would call a man like Matthew to become one of His disciples. As a small-time tax collector, Matthew would have been despised by the Jewish people, who viewed those in the profession as traitors to Rome. But the fact that Matthew was educated, literate, and also familiar with Jewish law and customs made him the ideal candidate to not only accompany Jesus during His earthly ministry but also record all that he witnessed. The result is the Gospel we have today. Matthew shows how Jesus, as the promised Messiah and eternal King, is worthy of our hope and our complete devotion. Each of this study's twelve lessons is clearly organized to include: Getting Started: An opening question to introduce you to the lesson. Setting the Stage: A short reflection to explain the context of the study. Exploring the Text: The Scripture reading for the lesson with related study questions. Reviewing the Story: Questions to help you identify key points in the reading. Applying the Message: Questions to help you apply the key ideas to their lives. Reflecting on the Meaning: A closing reflection on the key teachings in the lesson. —ABOUT THE SERIES— The Jeremiah Bible Study Series captures Dr. David Jeremiah's forty-plus years of commitment in teaching the Word of God. In each study, you'll gain insights into the text, identify key stories and themes, and be challenged to apply the truths you uncover to your life. By the end of each study, you'll come away with a clear and memorable understanding of that Bible book. Each study also contains a Leader's Guide.
Download or read book Jeremiah written by William L. Holladay and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this careful reconstruction of the prophet Jeremiah's life and work, Professor Holladay attempts to sort out Jeremiah's utterances chronologically and to hear them as closely as possible within the context of the events of their time. Jeremiah is a model for us to understand the prophets of the Old Testament. But more than that, he alone of the prophets saw his relationship with God as a problem to be grappled with rather than an obligation to be taken for granted. His willingness to question and to doubt was unique and, Holladay suggests, may put him more in step with our time than his own. For while many of us are willing to undertake a life of faith lived under God's guidance, few of us do not at some point question God's ways.

Book excerpt: Elmer A. Martens explores the message and insights of Jeremiah for today. In Jeremiah, God disciplines people and punishes them. Yet there is also forgiveness and thepromise of a new covenant. This ancient book is strangely relevant to our generation. The more we learn about the stressful times in which Jeremiah lived, about the passionate prophet himself, and about the arrangement of the book that bears his name, the more forceful the message becomes.

Book excerpt: "While Holladay has written widely and helpfully on other topics, his intensive work on the prophet Jeremiah remains one of the most important contributions to the study of that book, and especially to our understanding of the prophet Jeremiah in relation to the book ascribed to him.In Jeremiah: Reading the Prophet in His Time ? and Ours, Holladay seeks to connect the message of the book of Jeremiah 'to the life and experiences of the prophet and his times. No one in contemporary Jeremiah studies has worked as assiduously at that enterprise.'"? from the Foreword by Patrick D. Miller
Book Synopsis Jeremiah, Zedekiah, and the Fall of Jerusalem by : Mark Roncace
Download or read book Jeremiah, Zedekiah, and the Fall of Jerusalem written by Mark Roncace and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-09-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Uses both a narratological and historical-critical method to read these specific passages of Jeremiah *Demonstrates that the story of Jeremiah and Zedekiah is not the typical god prophet/bad king story found in much of prophetic literature and the Deuteronomic History *Provides an intertextual reading of the passages which connects Jeremiah to other figures in the Old Testament The book offers a narratological and intertextual reading of Jeremiah 37:1-40:6, a text that features the dynamic interaction between the prophet Jeremiah and King Zedekiah in the context of events surrounding the fall of Jerusalem. While there have been many literary studies of biblical texts, there has been little such work on the narratives in the book of Jeremiah. This fact is surprising since the Jeremianic stories are narrated in a lively and sophisticated manner and contain complex characters and vivid dialogue and action, reminiscent of texts in the Primary History which have received much more literary attention. Roncace's book begins to uncover the richness of the prophetic narratives in Jeremiah. The study focuses on issues of characterization and point of view as well as the text's connections with other passages in the book of Jeremiah and those beyond it, particularly the Deuteronomistic History. Roncace argues that the text develops complex images of both Zedekiah and Jeremiah. It is not a story of the good prophet and the bad king; times as chaotic and confusing as the final days of Jerusalem do not call for a black-and-white story. Rather the text invites both sympathy and criticism for Jeremiah and Zedekiah. Jeremiah is the embattled prophet of God; yet at times he appears deceptive and manipulative, more concerned about his own well-being than that of the people, and his message can be ambiguous and in the end is not fully correct. Zedekiah, for his part, appears receptive to Jeremiah's word and protects the prophet from others who would harm him; yet he is too irresolute to take any action to save the city. The ambiguity in the portrayals of both figures is further developed by intertextual connections. Jeremiah can be compared to Moses, the Rabshakeh, Daniel, Joseph, Samuel, Nathan, and Micaiah, while Zedekiah can be compared to the monarchs that correspond to these figures (Pharaoh, Hezekiah, Saul, David, and Ahab).
