The Call of Jeremiah

  • Popular
  • William MacLeod

This article shows that the message of Jeremiah was not favoured in his time. This is also the case today, for preaching God's anger and judgment is not accepted. This makes Jeremiah a relevant book for our time.

Jeremiah, Judgment, and Creation

  • Semi-Technical
  • Hetty Lalleman

Lalleman argues that the idea of creation can already be found in Jeremiah. Jeremiah 4-Jeremiah 5 has parallels in Genesis 1-2 as well as in Jeremiah 33. She believes that there is insufficient ground to assume that Jeremiah 33 represents a post-Jeremiah development. Jeremiah uses also creation as a framework for his proclamation of judgment and doom.

The Markan Narrative's Use of the Old Greek Text of Jeremiah to Explain Israel's Obduracy

  • Semi-Technical
  • Larry Perkins

This article suggests that a close reading of the Septuagint translation of Jeremiah reveals that his prophetic message influences the way Mark portrays Jesus’ words and deeds. In specific contexts in Mark’s narrative (e.g., Mark 8:17, Mark 11:17-18), where potential linkages with the Greek version of Jeremiah’s prophecy occur, the author demonstrates the potential contribution of the Greek version to the reader's understanding of Mark’s purpose.

The Arrangement of Jeremiah's Prophecies

  • Semi-Technical
  • J. Barton Payne

The order of the arrangement of the content of the book of Jeremiah can be perplexing. This study attempts to articulate certain basic assumptions that distinguish evangelicalism's approach to the organization of the prophecy, and to analyze the evidence by which its chapters may be dated. Payne proceeds to formulate a chronological picture of the sequence of the different parts and proposes an explanation for the present arrangement of the book.
