Jeremiah by Rex Mason
The book of Jeremiah is one of the most moving of the Old Testament prophetic books. It reveals a prophet commissioned by God when still quite young, to bring a message of judgment that he would have preferred not to have to proclaim. While he remained obedient to his demanding call, at times he wondered whether even God had deserted him. Jeremiah felt the people's sin acutely but also felt anguish for the punishment that he saw coming to them for their persistent disobedience to God. He was not to live to see the salvation he had predicted, speaking with a confidence based on his conviction in the ultimate triumph of God's love. The People's Bible Commentary (PBC) is designed for all those who want to study the scriptures in a way that will warm the heart as well as instruct the mind.
