The Theology of Jeremiah by John Goldingay

The Theology of Jeremiah by John Goldingay

How do we think about the theology of the book of Jeremiah? Do we consider themes section by section, or do we step back and look at the whole? John Goldingay says "both."

In The Theology of Jeremiah, Goldingay considers the prophet Jeremiah himself, his individual circumstances and those of Judah, and his message. Though Jeremiah's message varies throughout the book, we gain insights into Jeremiah's theology by viewing the book in its entirety. In doing so, welearn about God, Israel as the people of God, the nature of wrongdoing and prophecy, and what we know about the future.

Fuller Theological Seminary's David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, John Goldingay, is based in Pasadena, California. Goldingay is a well-known Old Testament scholar who has written numerous commentaries and publications.
