The Theology of the Book of Jeremiah

Author: Walter Brueggemann

Description

Thepresent study focuses on the theology of the Book of Jeremiah. Thattheology revolves around themes familiar from Israel's covenantalfaith, especially the sovereignty of YHWH expressed in judgment andpromise. The outcome of this theological nexus of context, person,and tradition is a book that moves into the abyss and out of theabyss in unexpected ways. It does so, in part, by asserting that Godcontinues to be generatively and disturbingly operative in theaffairs of the world, up to and including our contemporary abysses(such as 9/11). The God attested in the Book of Jeremiah invites itsreaders into and through any and all such dislocations to new futuresthat combine divine agency and human inventiveness rooted infaithfulness
