Description: The five chapters of Lamentations may be easily overlooked. Not only is it brief, but it is also sandwiched between two giants of Old Testament prophecy, Jeremiah and Ezekiel.

Lamentations also deals with realities that we would rather wish were not discussed--consequently, the book is little studied.

However, although there is much here to challenge faith, there is also much that builds it up. Lamentations was not written in the first instance to serve as a warning to others, or even to keep alive the memory of past suffering, it is the present that dominates the thought of this book.

And in that present are these overriding thoughts-- "Has God left us?"; "Have we blown our chance as God's covenant people?"; "Is there a way forward toward restoration?".

A popular view today is that Lamentations is a dreary book with nothing much to say to today's upbeat society. The reality is that it could not be more relevant, more authentic.

Mentor commentaries combine a high view of scripture with access to the latest academic theological research. This unique combination allows the reader to see what recent scholarly research has discovered without losing sight of the inerrancy of scripture.
