Westminster Bible Companion: Jeremiah 1–29
Overview
The prophet Jeremiah declared the word of the Lord at a critical time in the history of ancient Israel. In the first volume of a two-part commentary on Jeremiah, John Bracke provides a powerful interpretation of the prophet's message to a nation that refused to listen to the call to repent and to renew covenant living in obedience to God's commandments. Readers encounter God's anguish and pain over both the failure of the people and the suffering that they and Jeremiah were forced to endure.

Top Highlights
“The two ways in which God remembers the initial relationship with Israel at the beginning of Jeremiah 2 complement each other. The bridal imagery stresses Israel’s loyalty to God, while the first-fruits imagery stresses God’s loyalty to Israel. Yet this very positive view of the original relationship between God and Israel serves as a foil for what follows. The remainder of Jeremiah 2–3 concerns the ways in which God is forsaken by Israel. As we read Jeremiah 2–3, we are challenged to reflect on God’s loyalty to the church and the ways in which we in the church may forsake the Lord.” (Page 24)
