Jeremiah & Baruch
Overview
In Jeremiah, Baruch, Pauline A. Viviano insightfully explores and explains these two challenging and important books of Scripture. The unrelenting doom that occupies much of the book of Jeremiah is offset by God’s refusal to totally abandon the people of Judah. This refusal to let go of the people is given its greatest expression in a New Covenant which lays the foundation for humanity’s enduring relationship with God. Meanwhile, The book of Baruch presents several ways for the people of Israel to deal with the destruction of their country and exile from their land.
