Description: The Old Testament prophets played a crucial role in the history of Israel. Although there were many prophets who brought the message of God to his people, we have records of only a few. Of these, our knowledge of Jeremiah is probably the most complete. In this commentary, J.A. Thompson examines the book of Jeremiah with its message urging the people of Israel to be true to their covenant Lord and to live in conformity with his covenant requirements.

Thompson begins his study by looking at the role of the prophets in Israel, and Jeremiah's place among them. He then discusses the historical setting of Jeremiah's message. From this background, Thompson moves to an examination of the book of Jeremiah itself, focusing on its structure and composition before considering some important issues for exegesis—the date of Jeremiah's call, the significance of the symbolic actions he used, and the relationship between Jeremiah and Hosea. Lastly, Thompson examines the text and poetic forms of Jeremiah.

"This is by far the most comprehensive work that has been done on the prophet Jeremiah. . . . This is an excellent work that is sure to become the classical major study of this prophet. A must for any serious student of the Bible."
—Southwestern Journal of Theology

"Thompson's Jeremiah rivals John Bright's commentary as the best in English on Jeremiah. . . . His highly competent treatment lends itself to use by scholars and teachers as well as for sermon preparation and personal study."
—Christianity Today

"An outstanding commentary that is bound to become a standard classic for English-speaking students."
—Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
