Overview

This commentary illumines Jer 26-52 through historical, literary, feminist, and postcolonial analysis. Ideologies of subjugation and resistance are entangled in the Jeremiah traditions. The reader is guided through narratives of extreme violence, portrayals of iconic allies and adversaries, and complex gestures of scribal resilience. Judah’s cultural trauma is refracted through prose that mimics Neo-Babylonian colonizing ideology, dramatic scenes of survival, and poetry alight with the desire for vengeance against enemies.

  • Offers a multiperspectival, innovative and relevant interpretation of the book of Jeremiah
  • Enriched by insights from archaeology
  • Provides historical, literary, feminist, and postcolonial analysis
