The Expositor's Bible: The Prophecies of Jeremiah / With a Sketch of His Life and Times

A verse-by-verse exposition of Jeremiah's prophecies with an introductory sketch of his life and times, this work analyzes the prophet's call, the political and religious crises of Israel and Judah, and recurring themes such as covenant breach, idolatry, social injustice, foreign invasions, drought, and judgment. Each section interprets symbolic imagery (potter, broken vessel), liturgical language, and ethical implications while relating oracles to historical circumstances; the commentary balances textual criticism, doctrinal reflection, and pastoral application, concluding with an account of persecution and the development of prayer and worship after the loss of the temple.
