Description: The books of Jeremiah and Lamentations include prophetic and poetic materials that came about because of two crises facing God's people. First, Babylonia was threatening to invade at the beginning of the 6th century B.C.E. Second, the Babylonian conquest of Judah and the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C.E. was followed by a human and religious crisis. We encounter many voices in the pages of these books: the prophet Jeremiah, sundry kings, Jeremiah's enemies, and a people at first defiant and later in excruciating torment. In addition, we hear the voice of God speaking through Jeremiah and Jeremiah's contemporaries. God, however, does not just speak "back there" and "then." The living God speaks to us through the Bible, this book of faith. God is revealed to us as one who will not rest until we are at last a people whose hearts and minds are molded to the image and likeness of Jesus.
