The book offers an introduction telling the story of the surprising ways in which both voice and persona of this elusive prophet were used in critical historical moments, as well as a complete chapter-by-chapter commentary that presents the significant historical effects of selected texts. The spiritual struggles of the faithful and critiques of philosophers and scientists are often presented in their own voices. The book offers original ideas about the effects of the “slipping figure of Jeremiah” on the developing idea of the self, shown in a wide range of liturgical, political, artistic, literary, and cultural contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book guides readers through various interpretations of Jeremiah’s poetry and prose, discussing the profound influence that Jeremiah and Western culture\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ehave had on each other through the centuries.

The book offers an introduction telling the story of the surprising ways in which both voice and persona of this elusive prophet were used in critical historical moments, as well as a complete chapter-by-chapter commentary that presents the significant historical effects of selected texts. The spiritual struggles of the faithful and critiques of philosophers and scientists are often presented in their own voices. The book offers original ideas about the effects of the “slipping figure of Jeremiah” on the developing idea of the self, shown in a wide range of liturgical, political, artistic, literary, and cultural contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book guides readers through various interpretations of Jeremiah’s poetry and prose, discussing the profound influence that Jeremiah and Western culture\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ehave had on each other through the centuries. Significant texts from every chapter of Jeremiah are presented in a chronological narrative as both conversation and debate – enabling readers to encounter the prophet in the text of the Bible and in previous exegeses. Throughout the text, the receptions reflect historical contexts and highlight the ways they shaped specific receptions of Jeremiah.
