Overview

In the study of the book of Jeremiah, the so-called confessions of the prophet have attracted a lot of attention and have been given a central role in the understanding of the prophet's message and significance. The attempt to clarify their central role has been plagued by two connected tasks or problems: the problem of explaining their relationship to the Psalms and at the same time, properly discerning their relationship to the prophetic mission.
